This was really good on the third day which surprised me. But then again, it's the Maples. These folks know how to grow grapes. This is a rare exception from Bella. Don't be fooled. I still have two bottles of the 2007 maple they offered me when I could only buy one of 2008. And it was horrible. This was a nice surprise.

Dark garnet in color with notes of cedar, lavender, raspberry, and a hint of tobacco. Flavors of blueberry and herbs with a pretty long finish. Needed time to open for sure.

Raspberry, cherry cola, rhubarb, and some herbs on the nose. Very sweet aroma. In the mouth, it's not as sweet but with continued red fruit, cedar, and floral notes. Followed by a smooth finish.

2 hours decanted Rhubarb, strawberry, and cedar on the nose. Stronger mid and back and flavors of strawberry and herbs finish this wine. Pairing with Babyback Ribs later.

Ripe, dry, one-dimensional. Tonight's experience consistent with my previous bottle.
