Delicious, still shows great fruit !! At peak !! Perfect cork easily removed. Dark burgundy color with good clarity. This balanced Rhône blend from the high appellation of Lake County on the east side of Clear Lake is still tasting great. 2010 was an odd year with a very cool spring and summer; ripening was accelerated by heat spikes in the fall. Great aromas and flavors of black cherry and leather, well made by Brassfield. Sadly, this was my last bottle of the vintage.

Med/light ruby-brick color. Tart raspberries, plum, char, cinnamon, clove, and hint of fresh floral notes on the nose. Bright fruit and acidity in the mouth with tastes of sour cherry. Focused and nice finish.

Sweeter than a French Rhine wine. Nice sipper, but not spectacular.
