May not be text book but super fun to drink in a way that many wines aren't these days.

All about the barrel right now. Unfortunately. But I think there's upside here in a few years.

Unrepentantly Dry Creek Cab, but with a light touch. Minty and fruit driven (still), and just so drinkable with steak with mushrooms and roasted potatoes.

Still needs another year to come together, but ooh so good! Leather, blueberry and blackberry with well integrated oak. Fine tannins with a long finish.
