A wonderful wine. We used to love visiting the winery back when they let wine club members stay in one of the guest suites. New owners, new policy. Still excellent wines, though. Good grapes.

Rich bouquet that hints of dark chocolate. Nice acidity for drinking with food, and highly structured tannins. This wine should be opened several hours ahead of time.
