Second of the threesome reds from Dane Cellars. Dark garnet red. Very gamey attack on the nose with savory notes such as iron and grilled herbs. Day one on the palate mirrored the nose, notes of iron, pepper and meat. Moderate tannins (6/10) and moderate plus body. Slight heat that dissipated on day two. Day two the nose of the Mourvedre really came through, with purple floral notes. Palate added in some greenery and flowers. Heat began to come up with a long finish. Drink till 2024. — 9 years ago

I don't usually like zin but this one is a bit different. Bigger and sweeter. Of course at 15.1 it's a bit hot but not over the top. — 11 years ago

In 2011 I was lucky enough to apprentice under Leo Hansen and help craft this wine. It was absolutely incredible to see it evolve. Own rooted, dry farmed Chenin Blanc from Santa Ynez. #timetraveling — 10 years ago

A fabulously constructed Cabernet. Great balance of tannins and fruit. Only criticism is mid pallet. Sort of lacking.
