Young and green but showing life with red cherry and spice. Tannin is there but not overwhelming. Drinking now would be wasting its potential. Only released last November, let this lie for a bit.

Loads of fresh red fruits, medium (+) acidity made this a perfect chameleon pairing partner for the feast of bbq ribs, charcuterie, and pizza marguerite.

One of my favorite all-time big, full-bodied reds. Great for BBQ or a rainy night at home.

Big Barberra, opened up after an hour or so. Inky, dark fruit, solid tannin, but soft for a 2013 bottle. Matched a prime tri tip well.
