1hr+ decant and likely needed more. This kept getting better. Dark red color. Classic Napa sweetness. This was dessert in a glass. Dark cherries, subtle cedar, tobacco, a little chocolate, and some integrated vanilla. Deep wine with a long finish. Loved it! — 3 days ago

Was expecting an orange color but this is subtle gold, translucent, and almost clear. Muted nose with subtle pineapple. Not much flavor on the palate. Might be in a super weird spot. — 9 days ago

PnP. Better than the 2014 vintage. Rustic with more terroir and tertiary flavors. Still a young wine. — 3 days ago

Had to drink after my previous two bottles on the wine list were not in stock.

Served too cold. Too young. Not a ton of flavor. Just couldn’t wait for a different bottle as dinner was almost finished and the chance of going 0 for 3 seemed high.
