Surprisingly this drank very well. Popped and poured, I would not decant for a long while.

Might be a bit past prime. Silky, opened up nicely after 30-45 mins. fruit is blended as years have gone by. Drink up if you have any left.

Smells like a strawberry field. Layers upon layers blackberries, raspberries, pepper. Decanted for 30 mins and couldn't resist, another 30 mins and it would be truly amazing. Black Sears knows how to make a brilliant bottle of wine.

<Brad,Greg> I 've really enjoyed previous offerings from the Black Sears Vineyard (up high on Howell Mtn,) but this failed to live up to my expectations. Dark in color but fairly reticent on the nose. Major hole on the mid palate, devoid of any fruit or complexity I've experienced in the past from this vineyard. Biting finish with Cocoa/bitter chocolate and some sour notes. Not Rated because I'm not convinced this isnt a flawed/off bottle.
