Just decanted 15 minutes ago to separate the sediment, the color looks like it’s starting to mature. Nose is a quarry-full of cracked stone and some whole black peppercorn. A little dry garrigue note. Savory in the mouth. It’s got nice acidity and still some tannin to shed. If you really concentrate, there’s a little dark mountain berry fruit, but this is really all about everything BUT fruit.

UPDATE: Night 2, after 24 hours under vacuum closure, the palate is a little broader and shows a bit more fruit. Upping score from 8.9 to 9.0z — a month ago

Super delicate Santa Cruz pn. Intense woodsy and spicy aroma, but a featherweight with tannins as smooth as satin. Like this a lot! — 5 years ago

Another go-to of mine. So good for $15. How do they do it?

Citrus forward nose with a little earth, petrichor even. Bright and zippy on the palate with floral hints. Fun fun fun. — 3 years ago

Outrageous good, nice red fruit on the start. Great middle and a slight tannin finish. My wife just loves this wine. — 6 years ago
