Gorgeous nose. Big rich fruit and substantial nose, dark black cherry fruit, mineral and cassis. Floral as well after some air. Shows volume and amplitude of 2012 on the palate with dense rich fruit and terrific intensity and acidity. Complex and super ripe. Awesome. Big tannins that mellow and sweeten with air. Super juicy and so well made. Terrific length. Rustic yet refined in some places as well but all the fruit makes you less critical. Delicious wine.

Been a bit with this one. Gorgeous nose of black cherries, licorice, wet earth, limestone, mint, really great nose. Palate has terrific earthy sweet fruit. Terrific 2012 volume and amplitude. Velvety tannins. Terrific round mid palate. Fruit soak on the finish. I love 2012.

Tremendous berry fruit and spice on the nose. Cannot get enough of 2012 small wines. Terrific volume of fruit and amplitude that is what 2012 is all about. Great earth. Nice, ripe, rich and sweet tannin. Just popped and poured and seems like it needs 45 to come around.

What a great winery. Complex nose. Spices, minerals, earth. 1/3 is new oak. 2/3 older. Freshness and deep. Lovely sweet fruit and precision. Just delicious. Amazing acidity.
