A good wine, plenty of life left in it. the fruit is evolving to a more Burgundian style of sour cherries, mixed with a touch of trademark Californian fruit too - an excellent combination. There is still a fine acidic backbone keeping it going, with barely perceptible tannins. The only downside is the fact that it drops off a bit on the mid-palate. It has a very good entry, and the finish picks up too, but the mid is lacking, and the finish would be longer if this wasn't the case. Overall, though, a very good wine, lean, savoury and delicious. Drink now and for next couple of years. (11/10)
