Showing black olive, savory roasted meats, peppercorns, ink and redwood forest notes; would say this is in a great spot now and would expect it to stay there for a number of years

2006......we think it's past its peak. No finish whatsoever. Should have had it a year ago.

Throw back to one of my favorite wines of all time. Nose consists of blackberry, black currants, plum with white pepper spice of the Santa Cruz mountains. Dark ruby color, dark, and inky. Long lasting on the palate. Smokiness but balanced with fruit. Perfect time to drink now.
