Santa Cruz Mountains, San Francisco Bay, California, USA
Really indicative of mountain fruit. Blackberries, soy, dill, cocoa, smoke, scorched earth, coffee, black pepper, dried currants. Extremely terroir driven, which is nice to see.

Never really got there. Either a bad bottle or just an off vintage for this normally consistently great producer.

Berry-wood bouquet, followed by equivalent but less forward taste on the palate, with a touch of wild brush and mineral water. Firm tannins after 180 minutes of aeration. Below 90 only because this vineyard is held to a higher standard. Better than most most wines at its price and even higher.
