Estate Bottled. If starting out with attention-getting aromas of keen, curranty fruit, touches of loamy earth and nice dollop of lightly caramelly oak, this one hesitates a bit on the palate, and its low-keyed flavors are never quite so rich or deep as expected. Slightly lean in feel and clipped by a touch of closing acidity, it ends with sufficient coarseness to commend a couple of years of further age.

Rating for United States-California: 88 (average year)<br/><br/>Drinkability: too young, let it sit<br/>
