Drinking nicely. Cherry and plum fruit, enough acidity, some secondary notes like tea and tart cherry pie. Some apricot too, good but could develop some more nuance, drink or hold.

Better than my last bottle. The fruit is a bit on the sweet side and it could use some more acid and structure to hold it together, but it's pleasant enough.

Big, rich sweet fruit, cola, earth and leaves. Agree that it could use some more acid. Drinking nicely.

Fully integrated tannins— still distinctly California with ripe fruit, spice, and a slight bit of cola. Impressive staying power and excellent qpr.
