I bought this 3 years ago and, to be honest, was only so-so about it at the time. as someone in the "industry" I always buy something when I am comp'd for a tasting and when we are treated well. That was the case when I visted Whalebone with 2 other "industry" friends. None of us were crazy about the wine. So, 3 years later, I'm only slightly more enthusiastic. The tannins have softened, but there is a slight sourness and really not much depth or compexity. Overall, it's OK, but not worth the price. I will try it again tomorrow night an update this note if I think it is any different at that time.

Soft and gentle - fading but still very drinkable

Enjoyed this with pizza and an antipasto salad. Sweet fruit flavors of cherry and plum, deep color, soft pallet.
