[Half Bottle] Lovely young Sancerre, this seems riper than earlier vintages, less grassy and more ripe Sauvignon Blanc fruit, solid acidity, good length, very good! — 11 days ago

Purchased a case on release, I believe this is a 75% Merlot/25% Cabernet Sauvignon blend from my recollection of what Barbara and Jim Richards once told me, medium-dark ruby/purple color, dark fruit seems mature, but the wine still shows deep, mountain fruit, structure, very good balance still, long, lingering finish, I still have a few more, it’s probably drinking as well as it ever will, miss the Richards a lot, such gracious, wonderful people!! — 11 days ago
