Santa Barbara County, Central Coast, California, USA
Very deep in fruit flavors, not expected for blend ratio. Very extracted flavors and great mouthfeel. Could age nicely.

The dark purple '01 Andrew Murray Red Rhone Blend 'Espérance' wears its age with finesse. The ripe strawberry, floral and cinnamon nose is somewhat muted, but the flavors of tart cherry, espresso and earth are still forceful and complex. The long peppery aftertaste shows well-integrated jammy tannins.

I didn't think this would be holding up so well after 11 years... But wow, what a great nose and wonderfully smooth palate!
