Purchased this several years ago and been holding it on the racks. Had this tonight with rack of lamb and it was. . . Excellent. A dark cherry with earthy hints and medium tannins. This was a softer red that complemented the meal wonderfully. — 3 days ago

Insane in the membrane. Huge nose of citrus, lime blossom, pink grapefruit, petrol, slate and herbs. Insane perfume. What an elegant and complex palate that floats yet is so so intense and juicy. Wow what a finish and that insane 2010 acidity. Amazing purity and so so delicate. This is genius. So good now but will last and last and last. — 8 days ago

A fruity blend that drinks easy. Light on tannins, nice food wine. A versatile party wine. Not very earthy or rustic. — 16 days ago

First CA PN in some time for me. Balanced and fruit forward with surprising complexity for the price point. Light minimal smoke and coppery nose. Dark purple/red core. Sharp cherries super forward followed by a nice mix of light spice and cinnamon. Really digging the finish with cola and a neat lingering dark bite. This surprised me. Profiles as a DH OR PN (yup! I wrote that that way) for me but it did soften as others wrote. Med plus body and sky high acidity. I got an amazing price on this so I have a few. Nice drinking while I hopefully wait for my prizes to age. Good for me (and my wife). — 20 days ago
