2002 Santa Cruz Mtn. Vineyard

[winoweenie]

Decided to commit infanticide so opened this just to see how much longer this bottling would take to mature. Brite medium ruby. Amazingly the nose started developing after 25-30 minutes in the glass. Solid entry, weighty center and a 4 lapper finish. Silky tannins shut this hummer down after the 3rd or 4th sip. Needs another 4-6 to develop. Beautifully balanced but definately still a baby. 90/93. 28 12.5% alc. WW
