big and powerful, but nuanced despite its size. it's a dark, extracted wine, filled with wild cherry, raspberry, currant and sandalwood flavors, as well as exotic notes of forest balsam, grilled mushrooms, tamari and dusty indian spices. super-complex, it changes with every sip, and should change interestingly over the next six years. the vineyard is in the petaluma gap, and argues strongly for that region's future.
