Very fruit forward with dark cherry. Soft tannins medium bodied. Cherry flavor lingers on the tongue. Was very surprised how well it held up since it was a 2014 vintage and the drinking window 2017-2020. I will look for more bottles.

I had to work with this wine a little. I purchased it 8/13/12 thru WTSO. At the time it was rated at 94. The cork was very dry even though it has been laying down since 2012. Only half came out. Tried 2 other pullers and was able to get a small hole, but it was too small to decant through. Was able to push the cork into the bottle and pour into a decanter. Tried a small amount and decided that I needed to run it through the Vinturi. Ended up running it through 3 times and then let it air in the decanter for 3 hours. The result was very good and worth the effort. I rate it at a 91 now. Cherry with spices. Long finish all along the tongue. Almost no sediment. At the time i bought it from WTSO I had a coupon from them and only paid $4 a bottle. Very good buy.
