Big muscular
Will be great but young
Tannins need to soften and everything needs to calm a bit
Hold; good now better later

The 2010 Estate from Vineyard 7&8 is on point, but needs time. I like it more than the 09. Was initially pretty closed off in the glass, but showing much better after 90 minutes. Tastes of slate and very dark fruit. The tannins are intense, as you need to lay this down for a few more years for it to reach its peak.

Really good juice. Tannins still evident, but getting better. Can't wait to see where this goes in the next few years.

Excellent winery
Great vintage 2010

#4 of the perfect Tahoe day
Young; still a bit tannic
Already shows great complexity
Will only get better - already excellent
