Forgot to post these from the other day. Mark, Dan and I were able to enjoy a relaxed afternoon at the wine storage facility, and some unique stuff was opened, as always!

Not sure if it was intended, but this Cedarman zin was giving off a LOT of cedar on the nose. Ripe blue and black fruits on the palate, but the finish was spicy rhubarb and herbal. Still a baby. Decant required. Thanks Dan.

Usually one of my favorite vineyard designates from Turley, but this one was very tart and chalky. No improvement on day 2.
