Jun 5th, 2014Yes yes yes!!! Santa Cruz Mountains' finest. Absolutely stunning dark fruit, earth and spice on the palate and nose - in perfect harmony. So much life left in this wine.

2nd place. Brownies in the oven nose, silky texture, some ink press and sous bouis. Very nice.

Expansive palate, and ripe but punchy fruit. Lots of zing and depth. Lovely stuff and still has years ahead

Absolutely beautiful! From a year that may end up being compared with'13. Sexy, gorgeous nose of mixed wild berries, solid structure and tannin and focused finish that sails on. Wish I had more for the long haul.
