Better than I remembered it about a year and a half ago. Color is turning more brown and smells like strawberry preserves and has acidity. Finish is gone rather quickly.

Taste: Medium bodied with medium+ acidity. The acidity is on the tart side right now with some supporting tannins and tones of red fruits, strawberries, plums, and spice tones.
Overall: This could use some time to fully come around. This is well balanced with a good red fruit core on both the nose and palate.

Sunny January day = tasting around off North Valley (Willamette Valley): Smooth, clean fruited aromas here. Soft palate, and very mild in flavor. Nearly creamy in texture with a light, lean cherry flavor. Fairly tart finish, but light on complexity. More cherry and mild structure.

2 Days in the Valley- Day 1 (Willamette Valley, OR): Nose: There is a perfumed quality to the nose with tones of cherries, spices, red fruits, strawberries, and a touch of florals.
