Imagine a pint noir or other black grape with a pale interior. Imagine the pale flesh fermented detached from its black skin, never to remember it's noir origins, but it cannot forget from whence it came. And this is the taste. Subtle baked pear, honeysuckle, and sweetened gooseberry. Superb.

One of the joys of putting down a modest wine is the surprise of an unexpectedly blossoming. The first taste explodes with red earth cassis, with the second glass developing a beautiful wild strawberry undergrowth. The wine has long subdued tannins with tastes of black raspberry and a late transition to cherries. The light2medium body and berry load described by others tasting younger versions is appropriate, and the improvement after cellaring for 6-7 years should be noted.
