Nose briar fruit cinnamon. Young deep garnet color silky mouthfeel. Lovely dark fruit flavors. Tannins present and I think I will enjoy this even more in a year or 2. — 10 years ago

9.1

Aging extremely well. Deep garnet with a slight fade. Briar, raspberry, smoke, herb, green pepper and a slight sweatiness in the nose. Lots of acid and tannin and a surprising amount of fruit for a California '97. Still well balanced and needs time to breathe. Wish I had some more, this will last for another 10 years easily. — 11 years ago
