The last bottle we opened, about 18 months ago, seemed very California-ish, sweet, black and sappy like a Paso Robles but without the alcohol. Not any more--it's really come into balance. There's red fruit amid the black, with herbs and minerality amid the developing secondary nuances. Good acidity and silky tannins suggest there's no rush to drink the rest--the wine should hold here or improve for a few years.
