WOTN for most of the group. So much stuffing. Way bigger than my preference but screw my preference. Wild berries, red currant, stone fruit, sandalwood, clove. Non-stop finish. Probably one of my favorite wines I’ve tasted this year.

Burgundian peat, cherry jolly rancher, violets- lighter in color. Will age well. I liked this.

Hard to have a bad Gary Farrell experience. This guy delivered in spades. A typical rich Russian River taste profile with fruit forward explosion.
