Napa Valley, California, USA
Oak dominated at the moment. Needs to integrate badly. From vintage bottles of this I know it will integrate with time and be a good wine, but at this age it's too much for my palate.

Forgot to add this in on the 4th. The Release Party was a lot of fun and we were lucky enough to meet @Shay Aldriedge in person! Also a solid wine and loved the single vineyards we got to try.
Dark purplish ruby red. Tons of baking spices on the nose with black and dark red fruits. Heavy tannins (8/10) and similar notes on the palate. Full bodied and long finish. Drink till 2030.

Super deep and dark ruby red with an almost black core. Dark baking spices in the front of the nose followed by dark fruits, especially dark dark cherries. With some air there were some purple floral notes and more vanilla. Moderate tannins (7/10) and full bodied. Initially a little tight so we gave it a splash decant. Around an hour or so in, tons of cinnamon and other dark spices. Strong undertone of puréed dark berries and light herbs too. Long body but this needs a little more bottle age. Cannot wait to try it again at the release party next month. Drink till 2028.

Awesome juice, as always. Juicy, ripe, sweet blue and black fruits, Luxardo syrup, clove, star anise, sweet Swedish licorice, moist cherry pipe tobacco, molasses, fig. Absolutely beautiful.

Tremendous rich full red. Terrific out of the bottle and continued to develop a lustrous mouth feel. Cherry and ripe fruit with a hint of leather. Dinner with anders and Donna 2014
