dusty cherry over strawberry, leather and spice, dense nose - weighty and concentrated with some cedar notes on agitation. In the mouth the wine is warm, but tart, cherry and spice, oak and big and boisterous. Hmmph.

Not sure what to think of it. First time with these varieties. Nose was nice slight vanilla/cedar and big jammy berry. Palate was either tight or too muted for my taste buds. Something interesting there but couldn't imagine it. I'd give it another try.

Red fruit, small berries, and some lilac notes and hints of cedar. Nice sweet fruit, quite elegant with a medium mouth feel. It's all remarkably balanced and there is a solid mineral backbone on the finish that makes sense, as this is grown in schist. There is also citrus skin oil notes on the finish. Nice smooth wine and overall superb quality for the modest price.

Fruity crispy palate showing cherries and red berries. The palate is mild with mild tannins and shows red and black berries.
