Nose of black cherry and cherry liqueur with a prominent amount of oak. Flavors of both black and red cherry on palate with some moderate spice that becomes more interesting on finish. Slightly jammy and hot near end.

Slight bricking. Subtle nose of pepper and red fruit. Stunned by richness of this wine. New World Cali in styling. Components totally integrated at this time- rich cherry/cola flavor followed by fine tannins. Really great on opening but faded by end of evening. A terrific bottle, I'm sad its my last.

A little more brick in color. Consistent with notes from a 18 mos ago. Nice acidity.

Chardonnay and Pinot Noir with Middle Eastern Foods: The nose smelled a lot like a young vintage Port with plenty of ripeness and some heat. Ripe with a weak midpalate.

Persian Food Meets Pinot and Chard (The Murray Casa): Powdery note on nose with some crushed rock, too. Dark with a juicy black cherry. All right I guess.
