Bottle 473 of 600. Not a wine for drinking anytime soon. Deep flavors of earth, dark currants, Logan berries framed by some serious refined tannins and notes of Santa Cruz Mountain spice. Shallow mountain soils in cold vintages are going to take serious time to reveal themselves. Thankfully I can't be blamed for killing this baby - it was the winemaker!!
