Light red color, no sediment. On nose, tart cherry, cranberry, menthol, rose petals. On palate, medium body, medium+ acids, long finish. Still fruit primary - tart cherry / cranberry. Better 1st 2 hours after opening than a few hours later. 91+/-
Would buy again.

My rating, not Rosalie's. It was her wine at the tasting, and she thought it was "weird" and the nose a bit funky. The other tasters were pretty divided on this one, with echoes of Rosalie's funky comment. I was in the "this is just fine" camp. Lots going on in this wine, nice complexity, very drinkable now.

Clear light ruby. Lovely aroma of berries, baking spices, coffee. Broad layer of fruit on the palate, a little jammy but with plenty of acid to balance, some tannin on the medium to long finish, which also has a slightly metallic edge to it. 55+12+15+7.

Very nice - had with peppercorn coated grilled yellowfin tuna - On nose, bing cherry, cranberry & touch of forest floor. Palate similar with some tart cherry. Very primary now - silky mouthfeel and long finish. Would buy again.
