SANTA YNEZ VALLEY | CALIFORNIA | $44
Blackberry and grilled plum matched with intricate notes of cedar, cardamom, smoke, mint, licorice, graphite, loamy soil and black tea. Well integrated, with organic savory flavors on par with fruit. Complex, good balance, full bodied, satin texture and a weighty mouth feel. Can a “regular guy” be exceptional? Oh, yeah. An excellent wine. (Reviewed 7/1/12)
