Fun afternoon at Classic with great company. Glad you could join us Bryan.

Basically a lighter version of the Fracture that it shared the table with tonight. Red, blue and black fruit. Chocolate. Less dense, but more lifted/higher acidity. There is a distinct graham cracker note showing sweetness on the finish. The nose on this is what makes it great. So much complexity. Another few years and everything will come together. Thanks for opening

Drinking beautifully right now. Dark and decadent fruit with a velvet mouthfeel and elegant finish. Hell yes! More please...

Bolder than I remembered, especially for the extended age Vertigo. Great burger wine!

Open for business after 30 minutes. The extended Vertigo is typically one of the most approachable young GSM’s I’ve found.

Really nice GSM, IMO. Took about 2 hours to spread its wings, but we were rewarded when it did.

Right on Syrah with ripe fruit flavor and some oak to round out a very good wine. The wine was a gift 🎁 and we all enjoyed it. Huge aroma and long finish.🍷🍷🍷....
