Decanted about 4 hours. Youthful in the glass; purplish hue with a ruby rim. I detect crushed black currants, boysenberry jam, spring hyacinth along with hints of camphor and toast on the nose. The palate starts off smooth as silk, opening to tart berries, green pepper, crushed rocks, some savory herbs. Youthful acidity! The flavor profile is a bit atypical for SLD; more polished and graceful than neighboring properties. However, you can sense the fruit was small and concentrated, the result of allowing the vines to struggle. Having visited the winery many times, I'm transported there; in the shadow of rocky palisades, the hot afternoon sun beating down on the vineyard. Finishes with some heat, tones of white pepper linger. While this wine has the structure to continue to evolve with time, the prime drinking window is closing. As @Ron R would say, 'Get after it!' — 10 years ago
