  Vintage Select Industry Tasting (Vintage Select Warehouse, Houston, TX): Great classic RRV nose with cola, black cherry, pie cherry, bing cherry, brown sugar, clove, anise. On the palate, pie cherry, cranberry, bing cherry, brown sugar, clove, spice. Very nice stuff.

  Unfamiliar prior. Gary Farrell. Typical of Sonoma / Russian River. Not as distinctive as Sonoma Coast but same palate.
