2009 RSV POV. Two hours in and still sleek and a bit tight. Preliminarily, it's balanced and well made. Nice fruit concentration and sneaky good acid. Fine medium tannins and a long, subtle finish. Hope I've got more of this. Juicy goodness with structure.

Balanced wine (2009 was an excellent Carneros vintage) do not know blend but tastes 50 merlot/50 Cab. Textured, acid structure; upset I opened it this early as this wine will age gracefully.

Nicely balanced, understated Bordeaux blend from Carneros that'll let the food shine.
