This wine and is top notch. Put it in the cellar for 10+ years. A bit chalky still.

A complex Tempranillo with a smooth finish. This year will only improve with cellaring.

Very oaky. Graphite on the nose. Cedar/cigar box taste, vanilla, black fruit.

It keeps warming up and showing layers of spice, and the last legs of structure are still strong for (supposedly) being past peak. Lovely with the pizza.

solid california tempranillo, just ok on it's own but paired very well with steak (not surprisingly!).
