There is something about this wine that is intriguing. I am happy this isn't my last bottle of this, and I only have one person to thank for that! From the damned 2011 vintage comes yet ANOTHER awesome wine. Very complex without being a linear and "in your face" kind of style. Pours a dusty rose to the glass. Nose of dried herb, black cherry pie, leather, cola. Entry of black cherry and herb. Middle with a nice black tea kind of note. Finishes a bit stiff.

Nov 14th, 2018Still a rather intriguing bottle of wine. This wine has got a rather interesting nose of mint, raspberry, herb. The entry is dirty raspberry, mulberry, green olive. Gets softer in the middle. Raspberry, fig, mushroom in the middle. The finish is where this one gets a little raucous. Green grape stem, hint of green bell pepper, oregano, and lots of brambly black cherry, acidic finish that was more apparent in the first hour, but settled down in the second hour. Bottle was gone very quickly. My inventory of this wine was +2'ed on the latest trip to Napa, and is available at the Sacramento International Airport Vino Volo as we speak.
