From .375ml. Rich dark red and black cherry and berry on the nose and palate. Full bodied with lots of power and a long finish. Fine tannins.

After drinking Cornas Reynard, California wine just taste too sweet. Not worth the price!

Kind of weird notes on this bottle. Honestly the bottle of Voluptas 2013 "garage wine" killed this bottle. Had quite a bit of green pepper and eucalyptus notes on the nose (is this one still good?). The wine had a nice blackberry front, and still quite a youthful core in the middle and finish. There were many parallels between this wine and the 2013 Voluptas Cab Eastern Napa Hillside. Finished with a lot of youthful tannin. This wine really took about 2 hours to come into its own, and I'm glad I have that one more locked away than the 10's.

Given a good decant. The nose popped with oak. On the pallet was fine stuff with tasty fruit.
