Popped this last night after killing the Ladera…this is a terrific wine and IMO, better than the 05. And at $12.99 a superb bargain to boot. Juicier acidity than the 05, dark fruit, herbs, pepper, chewy wine with a little chalkiness on the back end. Traci and I discussed this last night and agreed, texturally it is not as silky as the Ladera nor does it possess that liqueurish feel…but what a terrific $13 wine. I’ll be buying a couple more of these for daily red drinkers. 90/100
