Rating for United States-California: 90 (slightly better than average year)<br/><br/>Drinkability: young, aging quickly, could be good now<br/>

Full red with a hint of amber at the rim. Aromatic redcurrant, tobacco and leather nose, with a strongly vegetal bell pepper component. Rich and supple but with the strong bell pepper vegetility dominating. Rather short finish features slightly drying tannins.
