CONTRA COSTA COUNTY | CALIFORNIA | $32
Massive, balanced and mature; a gorgeous wine. Deep yet soft, ripe red cherry, plum and currant fruit with dried wood and compost organic notes and wisps of exotic spice. Sandy soils challenge the vines to produce intense fruit that delivers a big but accessible wine. A individual of intimidating stature, yet gentile and agile with kindness in his eyes. A very good wine. (Reviewed 10/30/10)
