Part 1 of the final and main event for the Fall WNH. The most spectacular lineup of wines I’ve ever seen, and an overall wonderful ending to an amazing trip with fantastic people.

This is crazy young, but is already that good...and will go up a point or two over the next few years without question. Dust covered ripe fruits (blackberry, raspberries, plum) on the nose with a powerful entry and mid palate...cascading rich fruits that ooze flavor. Dark chocolate caramel too. Tannic and plenty of acidity to go for a good while. Wish I could have spent more time with this. Thank you

A merlot blend from the cult icon. Purity and precision - not remotely what I had anticipated. Chiseled and long with a high toned acidic drive. Absolutely lovely

They freshness is a characteristic - I got it with this wine. It was light with a punch. Flavor were bold but not dulled or softened with age.
