2013. Opened my first bottle. Wow it’s really good right now. Great nose, strong acidic backbone tells me many years left. Tannins have eased but still have a touchy grip, for a great mouthfeel. Black, red and then blue fruit. Just really enjoyable. Love this vineyard and Melka’s work at Nine Suns. One of my favorites!
