Out of the gate I agree this comes across as somewhat subdued aromatically. Moderate dark cherries with hints of spice and earth. I'm actually getting a true essence of a "natural" cherry cola. Yeah, subtle but I don't necessarily dislike the restraint. Yeah, the aromatics aren't in your face but tasting lots of the 2011 Oregon Pinots, that's kinda the pattern - which in a handful of cases, I preferred to the bigger, bolder 2012's.

Fresh blackberry on the front, silky center, still has some structure, short but tasty finish.

Very subdued. Not sure I'm an fan at this point. Don't see this improving with more cellar time.
