Great provenance and structure in this gem. Earthy and soulful with Classic tea leaf and impressive acidity will keep this drinking well for some time.

First Sterling Reserve - mostly Diamond Mountain - still a bit of a brut - but long and tasty.

Killer wine by Ric Forman. So complex and still so fresh. Insanely silky texture. Black cherries, button mushroom, chalk, mint, mulch, fresh prune. Yum.
