A decent quaff, but not at the level of his higher end cuvees or better vintages. Lots of fruit but lacking weight or meaningful structure. Drink up.

Nice reddish purple color. Fruity nose. Would guess CA Syrah with notes of plums, sweet warm fruit pie, some brush. Light impact in the mouth. Reflects the vintage. Just ok.

Dark and hearty ruby color. Bright nose with some sweet fruit notes which dominate... raspberry, strawberry, rhubarb combined with dried cherry and dusty brush. In the mouth this wine has nice intensity with rich fruit and no noticeable tannin. There's nice structure though. A little heat too. This is showing well right now.
