Surprisingly, this has become more saccharine with age. Not as good as previously.

Wow. I don't know what happened in the interim since I last had this, but it really turned the corner. The winemaker is Adam Henkel, formerly of Harlan, who seems to have really crafted a sleeper. Wonderfully integrated tannins! Dark cherry and some other red fruits on the palate. Excellent finish.

Vanilla, plum and baking spice on nose. Big juicy berries on palate that are well balanced and grounded. @Ed Dickey it's a steal

Happy Canyon is a great AVA for Bordeaux varietals and this is a good example. Right balance between fruit and tannins.
