Some brown/orange tinting going on. Strawberry, cola, and forest nose. Medium bodied, crushed raspberries, lots of spice, some heat, cherries that have been on the counter a while, tangy acid, and a medium length finish. Pretty good, but seems to be on the tail end of its drinking window.

Falltacular 2018--some TNs (My House In The South OC): Opened yesterday, kept cool overnight under opened cork. I believe this was just bottled within the last week, too. Lightly red, rose colored. This tastes like a barrel sample to me, with the wood (?) giving the wine a new barrel astringence. I am unsure whether Tim uses new wood on this so take my comment as a guess, not fact. Red fruits of cherry and strawberry, seeming to me candied at this stage.

Candied cherry as frank says, decent tannin. a little heat. nice wine but not overly complex. Don't get wood/oak. its integrated now.
