2002 Hundred Acre CS. Dinner at Tap during staycation. This followed the '94 Artadi Tempranillo and '08 Flowers PN. Massive. It was fun to have such hugely different wines back-to-back-to-back. Light, fruit-forward PN, followed by funky, earthy Tempranillo, and then this massive CA wine. Coated the mouth, lots of tannin- but not overpoweringly so. Tons of ripe, lush fruit- dark cherry, plum, currant- and even chocolate, and herbs. Not too oaky. This wine was really complex and really fun to drink. All enjoyed and thought it was great.
