An excellent California wine full of flavor and spices with hints of black licorice and tobacco. A keeper.

Drinking well but needed about a 3hour decant to get it fully going and get some of the heat off. Lush red fruit, lively and exciting. Paired well with our 40day dry aged rump steak. Given it took 3hrs to coax the 2011 open, when do I drink the '12s and'13s???

Sep 30th, 2017No idea how long this wine was open, but probably was for an hour before I got there today. This wins the youthful fruit award (even beats the 13 Amici). This wine is massive, and displays a lot of ample chalky blackberry fruit, vanilla, and some lavender. The middle is darker, and finishes with good length, good acidity, excellent structure, and great balance. Was going to open the 2009 to compare, but will instead save this for another day. I'd say that this wine is undoubtedly on the rise, therefore the proper place for this one is in the cellar! But, we were CURIOUS, OK??? If you absolutely, positively HAVE to drink this one now, do it with a lot of decant time!!
