On the nose, warm blue fruits, dark cherries, black plum, blackberries, cherries, warm soft spices, violets, caramel & vanilla. Palate of; M+ dusty tannins, black currants, blackberries, black plum, black raspberries & black cherries. The fruits are; sweet, fresh & ripe. Light loamy soils, crushed rock powder, sweet soft leather, roses, fresh red flowers, & violets. The texture, structure and balance are very good. Finish is; rich, ripe & well polished with good acidity. Barrel tasted the 2016 vintage at the Nickel & Nickel Entrecôte. Photos of the Quicksilver vineyard, vineyard loamy soil and the old carriage. The Quicksilver vineyard is located on the Western Rutherford Bench on Bella Oaks Lane.

Plump and ripe red and black cherries, fruit forward. A bit of minerality and the Rutherford dust, but the fruit really overpowers. Light mouthfeel, minimal finish. Same comments as previous bottles.

Still needs a decant. But opening up to dark cherry fruit. Strong tannic structure. Thin mouthfeel and brief finish.
