Big blackcurrant, mint, basil. Big fruit, med acid, subtle tannin. Great finish. Really well balanced.

SoH is one of my favorite wineries. This is a big, bold red. Plenty of tannins and acidity. Plenty of dark red and black fruit. This needed a solid 2 hours decanted to open. Lay this down for a long time.

Cedar and red fruit. Nicely balanced for a young wine. Very enjoyable.

Trey, you've outdone yourself with the 2013! Can't wait till this integrates over the next decade but it's drinking amazingly well now too. Gonna be hard to wait on this one.

Still so young. If you are like me and want to open young, give it a hard decant. Lots of dark black fruit with ample tannins and acidity. This will age nicely.
