Softer, rounded black fruits than in July. Blue fruits are starting to show a bit more. Cherry chocolate follows. Soft black earthiness with a touch of soft minerals. Light vanilla presence and medium barrel toast come out on the soft elegant finish. Good acidity is the one lacking element in their 08. It's off just a bit. 9.3-9.4 with the Ribcap steak...Michael Mina's-Bourbon Steak. — 9 years ago

Vinnie and I feel like Lewis could arguably be the best winemaker out there period. So so so good. Hadn't ever had the Hillstone - we had been saving this one - wowzers — 10 years ago
