Top Notes For
Byron C Mayes

Dark amethyst in the glass. Shy nose and medium palate of black cherry and patent leather. Hint of bitterness back palate. Bright, medium+ acidity. Very low tannins that only assert on the finish. Finish is moderate and continues the palate. Classic Sonoma PN lodged right in-between sipper and dinner wine. Will serve either purpose nicely -- especially if dinner has a bit of spice or heat -- though one could do better at the price for either. Drink now through 2029.
