  Definite taste of dark cherry. Finish of forest floor.

  This wine definitely needed time after opening. After a few hours when we got to our last glass, we were raving about how much it opened up and we wished we were just starting the bottle. Definitely some earthy notes in the nose and palette along with red cherry. It seemed like it was confused as to if it should be from Burgundy or California. Wish I had another bottle.

  Gorgeous bouquet of cherry, pomegranate and baking spices. On the palate, forest floor and red fruits dominate. Nice acidity with great balance and silky mouthfeel. This wine is drinking very well right now. Continued to show well on Day #2.

  Black cherry, cola, spice and even a bit of dark chocolate. Full-bodied, with good acidity, nice finish.

  See previous note, this has developed further in the last year or so since I tried it last and can go another year or two easily but is ready to drink now. The main improvement is in the complexity, it has developed more refined flavors.
