Blind reaction:
"Great old world rusticity. Clearly expertly made. A zin-lover's dream, great aromatics, dense, juicy fruit, strong backbone. This is a serious wine."
After the reveal:
"Of course! Mike Officer is a brilliant winemaker and ridiculously knowledgeable about vineyards. The deep fruit and earth flavor profile is classic Russian River Valley. This is one worth cellaring; it has all the complexity and power to age beautifully." — 9 years ago
