Even-numbered vintages in California often underwhelm initially, yet many come around with time, as does this wine. Bright black- and blueberry aromas and flavours are full and rich, and there is a symbiotic suppleness and firmness to the tannins and refreshing acidity. Pair it with beef for a lush yet fat-cutting experience.
Saturated ruby-red. Rather Rhone-like aromas of currant, chocolate and fruitcake. Sweet on entry, then turns a bit dry in the middle under a heavy load of oak. Flavors of dried fruits, tar and coffee grounds, along with a hint of band-aid. The finish features a lot of drying oak tannins.
