Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a couple of hours. The 2016 Pagani Ranch pours a deep ruby with near opaque core; medium+ viscosity with light staining and some signs of sediment. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of red and black brambles, toasted coconut, dill, wood, baking spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannins and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and tart. This is in a lovely spot yet, it still exhibiting quite a bit of freshness so I expect this will be quite long-lived. Drink now through 2031+. — 23 days ago

Levels above others. This one we decanted and it made a difference. Elements of Rutherford but still not as dusty. Earthy and complex. Liked this. — 6 days ago

Heavy on the cherry / red fruit flavour — and that’s not a bad thing at all — 6 days ago

Face off of the 2010 Cabernets with FirstLight Steak tenderloin. Dancing Bear comes out the winner with a touch more fruit and depth to it over the Quilceda Creek. Both wines decanted 90 mins. Smooth yet complex. — 25 days ago

Totally enjoyed this one. Blackberry, black plum, and black cherry notes. Bigger body with a bit of vanilla and oak. The dry tannins get absorbed by the fruit and they balanced out quite nicely. Already bought another bottle! — 13 days ago
