2009 vintage. A new one on me but waitress insisted. Very concentrated and fruity but not flabby. Good acidity and structure. When in Washington...

When we had this with Andrew, I remembered it was better. I had high expectations. Nonetheless, it has nice aromas of eucalyptus, anise and cassis with blackberry and dark chocolate. Finish was a bit hot with firm lingering tannins.

Best wine of the night! Great structure, wonderful balanced and great fruit coming through. On only got better as it opened up. Believe Kendall Mix was the winemaker and has since moved on, but group of 10 agreed this was the winner

Very complete wine with great depth of fruit and minerality. Delicious now and should age well.

A right bank blend with red/black fruits. Lengthy tannins but a bit too much oak influence for my personal taste. Might show real promise in 5-10 more years.
