Amazing nose, super complex and really intriguing. Layered, great texture and tons of red fruits. Probably the best expression of this varietal in CA.

Absolutely brilliant. Aromas of blackberries, maybe a touch of cinnamon. Perfectly balanced, with enough acidity to keep it alive through a lingering, 60+ second finish. Fantastic.
