What a great wine.  Now that this winery is no longer in business, I wonder who gets these grapes?  This was Halcon's last year I believe.  Inky purple in color, opaque and shimmering bright.  The nose has boysenberries, gravel, and spice. Plush texture with crisp acidity.  Firm tannins.  On the palate, juicy boysenberry fruit with underlying gravel and char.  Deep.  Satisfying.  Long finish.  This needs more time, hold for another five to ten years and drink for ten to twenty after that.  Nice on its own, this will work better with food.  Something fatty would help the tannins for now, maybe Prime Rib.  Tremendous value.
