This wine has aged amazingly well. Still bright and detailed. Tannins powdery and unobtrusive. Loved it.

Feels like an oxidized bottle — harsh, intense acidity, bitter finish, high alcohol.

Purchased at vineyard in October 2013. Enjoyed with Paul, Tracy and Nancy. Nice berry flavors with a dry finish.
