Silky tannin, solid core, persistent spice character. Could have easily benefited from another year or two but was lovely to drink at (nearly) age 7.

A great effort from this producer from a top notch vineyard. Long life ahead of it. Needed some serious time to open but started singing beautiful redwood spice and tea when it got going.

A sort of "wow" moment for me; this youthful creation combined rich, ripe CA-fruit with a positively dry, fresh and elegantly styled palate, where crushed, chalky rocks dominate the rewarding finish.
