Mark Ryan never disappoints. This is a beautifully balanced wine-the fruit, non-fruit and structure are all in sync.

A little oaky but great balance of fruit to acidity.

Not so big and bold as I would like. A bit charcoaly / smokey / woody from the barrel, falling flat overall for me

2012 vintage. Wow...now this is a serious wine. Deep in dark fruit and terrior flavors and a fair share of tannins. This was pure heaven with a barbequed rib eye steak. Another of those wines that I keep on the shelf because they are bound to be wonderful when opened but I want to keep them as long as possible for slight aging. But I never buy enough soon enough before the sell out. Mark Ryan makes seriously wonderful wines and this is surely one of them.
