Fully mature black cherry aromas and flavors with plenty of earth and sweeter spice than my previous two bottles, and so slightly less well composed. Still good now.

Another wonderful bottle, so similar to the one my sister opened at Thanksgiving. Fully mature black fruits with woodsy spice and enough remaining structure to keep this vibrant. Good weight and length.

Purchased upon release and stored well since, but the cork was slightly protruding and almost fully soaked through. So I was not surprised this came across as a bit stewed and even a little dirty. Still drinkable, but not up to the standard of this wine from a good vintage such as 2004.

Thanksgiving Weekend in Willamette; 11/25/2021-11/27/2021 (Willamette Valley OR): Fully mature black cherry and berry start-to-finish with subtle spice notes and very good harmony. One of the better bottles I’ve tasted of this vintage recently, but certainly no further upside.

Fully mature black cherry aromas and flavors with mostly sweet baking spice. and just enough acidity to keep this bright on its finish.
