Rating for United States-California: 95 (slightly better than average year)<br/><br/>Drinkability: young, aging quickly, could be good now<br/>

Fairly ripe, hinting ever so slightly at raisins and geared to dark chocolate from beginning to end, this weighty but rather stolid and lackluster wine runs into abrupt finishing tannins and dulls out to dryness without having given more than a passing glance in the direction of fruit.
