Friday night #FTW
It's going to be hard to cellar the extra bottle for at least another year. This paired perfectly with a garlicky Italian spiced homemade pizza plus a burrata salad but something tells me it would've paired just as nicely with dirt.

When in Rome (as they say) 75% Cab Franc, 25% Merlot. This needs air or you'll think it uninspiring (was best the next day). Violets and slight French oak nose. Smooth, clean blue fruits with tannins up front fading at mid palate. Med/short finish. Solid wine. — 9 years ago
Super ripe but manages to balalaika with a remarkable amount of remaining acidity and amazing herbs on the nose. Like a great big American Merlot with twice the complexity. — 9 years ago
This Cabernet dominant wine is a blend of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Merlot sourced from the Cara Mia Vineyard on Red Mountain. The 2015 version is heavy on the Cabernet compared to other vintages. A little more approachable than the Bel Canto right now, you’ll still be rewarded for cellaring it. The palate shows wonderful black pepper, green bell pepper, a bit of crushed gravel, and after a bit of decanting, the blackberries express themselves as well. Strong mouth coating tannins finish off this bold effort nicely. Drink 2020-2040- 93 — 7 years ago

2015 vintage - oak, cherries, maybe a bit of sour blueberries. Really good. — 8 years ago
Sweet but not too sweet, good after taste — 9 years ago
Really impressive the second day. Would try again and certainly decant the next bottle. With air loses baby fat and moves from boring cherry to much more interesting spice notes like cocoa and maybe nuts. Good acidity — 9 years ago
