A very vibrant nose with a licorice/graphite/camphor thing up front and boysenberries in the background. The palate is firing on all cylinders with ripe, spicy fruit, well-placed acidity and slightly drying tannins. Lots of length, but not a lot of depth, on the back palate and a clean energetic finish. Great food wine (I paired this bottle with roasted chicken and veggies and it was spot on).

Light, bright red. Ripe cherry fruit with a bit of spiciness. Ripe cherry fruit flavours and some oak in the finish. Served blind and pretty obviously new world. I thought California.

CT drinking window is certainly off. This wine is perfect right now. Definitely ready to drink. As with most Oregon wines this has burgundy style that is irresistible. Lots of plum and a little tobacco and tar. Smooth and velvety. Wish I had more.

Hint of anise and pine on the nose. Cherry with good structure and a very smooth finish. Pleasantly surprised as I was worried it was past it's prime.
