A meaty wine. Strong and dark. This would be great with a nice steak, but it's too much for a pork roast.

Bought this several years ago from a recommendation from David Coffaro Winery. Visited the winery and met with a Lovely family that owns this property and really liked the wines. Opened this and looking to see if we still like it. While full on alcohol % (which I dislike in general for California wines), I must say that it is tasty. Think it is at its peak, but it had what we love about PS - tannins and fruit - …

Vintage Select Industry Tasting (Vintage Select Warehouse, Houston, TX) : Improved over the last year. Big sweet tart nose of blackberry jam, black currant, vanilla, spice. On the palate, improved focus with tart black currant, blackberry, cherry, and spice. Still has substantial grip but decent balance. Needs another 3-5 years to totally settle in.

Can't say this was my favorite Mounts wine and frankly, I think I made a mistake by opening it way too soon. It was very good, but I think it needed to sit a few years before opening. It had big fruit, but not enough to make it a big bold wine. Rather, i think it would be better with some smoothing out over a couple of years.

Vintage Select Industry Tasting (Vintage Select Warehouse, Houston, TX) : Inky black. Nose of bramble, spicy, black fruit. On the palate, huge fruit, a litte over overpowering. Finishes with big tannins. Very good.
