Another vintage, another challenge – year number three for me. Experience definitely boosts confidence; feels good knowing I can hit the notes I’ve been aiming for, even if it takes two to three years to see if I did, in fact, do things “right.” After two years of aging and almost two years in bottle this wine is just now rewarding me with the effort that went into it. One of my favorite smells I noticed while tasting this wine is “dusty sun-drenched orange grove” Very California
