Blind. Completely fooled the table. Was convinced it was Italian. Red wine blend. My rating is based on the crowd who loved it.

A solid wine. Still drinks young... Could age for 10 more years. Sense potential for some good depth, but even coming back to it an hour or two later, you can tell it needs more time in the cellar.

2009 vintage. Drinking nicely with still bright fruit and attention to detail. Woulda picked it up for the resto but just acquired the 2011 Stephanie a few weeks ago for the same price. 11.20.24.
