Berry jam, wet cigar, sweet wet oak, cinnamon. 13.8 alc but still has spice & bit of heat on the finish.

The uneven and troubled 2011 California vintage yields yet another mixed bag of a Bordeaux varietal. While complex and rich, it has a bit too much caramel oak to compensate for its fruit shortcomings. Not a bad wine but not worth the price tag. I shall let my second bottle lay down for a year to see if these deficiencies shake out with aging.
