"This is from the Santa Rosa Plain area and is an old Martini clone, planted in the 1970s. The nose has a smoked-meat edge with a distinctive, savory, tanned-leather note and ripe, spice-dusted dark fruit. Beautiful, succulent acidity holds very rich fruit flesh together nicely and the palate has such weight and silky, deeply plush, velvety tannins. Give this a few years."
