Sonoma County, California, USA
Another faulty cork, but this wine has done a lot of growing up in the last couple of years since I've come back to it. Much darker and dense fruit core. Black fruit, hint of truffle, hint of mushroom, black spice and lots of dense powerful black fruit in the front and the middle. The nose of this integrates cinnamon with flowers with dark black fruit. This one finishes much stronger than the Barranca which was one vintage younger. I would say there is absolutely no rush to drink this one, and I will keep my other bottle around another year or two in order to see how it integrates. Still has some toasted tannin on the finish. Probably one of the best red wines I've had from this producer.
