Really love their new wines. This one is tasty already but can tell it will go years. To me it compares nicely with the Phelps Freestone PN. Nice tasting experience at the winery.

The first from our Sonoma trip. It has just enough spice for a PN.

Classic Russian river fruit profile. Very sensible winemaking.
