Great development window - just starting to brick in color at the edges and develop some forest floor / earthy notes. Balanced by good deep fruit and spice. Nice.

Still dripping with youthful exuberance, cherries, rhubarb, spice and sassafras. Flavorful and well-made if not especially complex. Drink now is a good option; hold for 1 to 2 years shouldn't do any harm.

Very nice red & black fruit, more fruit in the nose, but still well balanced with acid and herbal notes, I would call it very elegant even at 7 years of age.

More of a Central Coast than a Sonoma County profile, but with slightly lower alcohol. Candied fruit, licorice, sassafras -- it isn't bad but lacks a savory or mineral component to balance it out. Not one of the better WS efforts, at least as it is drinking right now.

Austere; light cherry; earth; lean finish.
