a real success story for this hot vintage. feels gracious and generous in the mouth, offering complex, fat flavors of blackberries, cherries, raspberries, mocha and cedar that turn spicy on the finish. the tannins are elaborately ripe and fine. the well-known vineyard is on the rutherford bench, and production was 2,300 cases. drinkable now, and should age well for at least a decade.
