this is a huge wine, that's insanely rich and concentrated. it tastes like the ripest summer blackberries, still warm from the sun, mashed and drizzed with crème de cassis and chocolate syrup. the estate vineyard is on paso robles' west side, and quite high in elevation in the southern spur of the santa lucia mountains. the wine is ungainly now, and needs time to develop. better after 2017.
