2010 vintage. Cherry and hints of leather on the nose. Perfect balance of cherry,oak, and tannins after decanting for an hour. Very smooth finish. Definitely the velvet glove SLV is famous for. Like it a lot.

Super tannic at first with a lot of fruit. Over an hour it mellowed a bit and some acidity started to come out and balance things out. If you like fruity Napa cab with lots of tannin this is for you.

Not up to par for SLWC. But a well made wine. 🍷

Like straight Fay better, but you really get that volcanic soil all over. Classic nose.
