It’s dry and complex, with waves of blackberries and black currants, violets, chocolate, leather and spices, wrapped into sturdy but refined tannins. Should age well through at least 2013.

This is a big, sweetly oaked wine notable for its ripe flavors and sheer opulence. It’s distinctly Californian in the massive, rather jammy blackberries, cherries and raspberries, and shows good balance in the richness of tannins and savory acidity. Delicious as it is, it’s all primary fruit now. Give it 2–3 years to mellow.
