Heck of a hosting by @Weston Eidson last night for the City Club wine group. All wines were tasted blind.
When tasting next to the MacDonald, it was incredible how much more ripe fruit was present here. I mean, straight up oozing blackberries and blueberries. I pondered if there could even be Malbec in this based on how inky and juicy it was at the core. I went back and forth between calling this Australian Cabernet or Howell Mountain Zinfandel. There was Andes mint and fig with a rich finish. I had the ‘16 during my visit earlier this year and found it to have a touch more savory notes.

This is simply amazing. Beautiful fruit accented by cedar, new leather, and vanilla. Wonderfully supple texture.

Decanted this wine for about 2 hours. Really vibrant wine. Lots of red fruit on the nose and the palate was in perfect harmony. Excellent wine.
