Young and brash now, if you can’t wait a few years then a good decanting will do the trick.

Fresh and feisty, dark and meaty. Bacchanalian quality Amarone-like Mataro.

Blind, this wouldn't have been out of place at the Tre Bicchieri SF tasting yesterday at Fort Mason. Best Doon juice in a long time. 2011.

Randall Grahm is on a roll. 2010 Old Telegram exceeded expectations, fresh, well-structured Mourvèdre, great with baby back ribs.

Cherry, raspberry, currant, cranberry, loamy earth, vanilla and prune. Good structure and soft tannins.

The grapes - Randall Grahm likes to call the Mourvedre fruit Mataro - hail from Contract Costa County’s Del Barba Vineyard, 56 acres of vines at an average age of 73 years.
The extremely dark wine smells of black pepper, burnt cherries, licorice, meat and smoke. It's a beautiful nose. Savory squared. Flavors of dark fruit power over the earth and coffee and mint .

Took a minute to wake up, but then displayed lots of dark fruit, cedar, and tobacco. Rich, structured tannins.
