A mix of ripe cherries and creamy oak backed up by suggestions of caramel lead this wine into aromatic richness that takes over center stage from the underlying fruit. Yet, despite all that rich, lush character, the wine keeps fruit in focus across the palate and, if a bit slender as the end, it is braced by brightening acidity that makes it a good bet with grilled steaks .

Rating for United States-California-Central Coast: 94 (excellent)<br/><br/>Drinkability: young, aging quickly, could be good now<br/>
