Opened on New Years Day, 2009, either because we wrote down the wrong Drink By date, or because we got different info from the winery.
A little tart or almost sour until it opened for a few hours in a carafe, but by dinner time it was quite pleasant. We didn't notice chocolate mentioned by dr. x.

Color: dark garnet, light ruby edges
Nose: Tremendous dusty nose here with blacker cassis and anise, but then some black cherry pokes through, along with wet garden dirt
Palate: Full and beautifully balance. Red fruit more prominent here, but finishes with those fine, chalky tannins from Carmel and some dusty Bing cherry. Great.
