Last of my lot of this black label. Hardly anything on the nose but gobs of Bing cherry backed by cherry cola. Some strawberry as well. Nice finish but it is very cloudy in appearance. Not pretty to look at and some may say flawed, but for me proof is in the flavor. Carafed as per my usual for an hour.

Soooo much better than the last one these I consumed. Not much in the nose i.e. No earth and only a bit of strawberry, but the palette is layered with pomegranate, the strawberry, of course cherry and other berries and a hint of smokiness that is intriguing. The texture is light as in the general Roadhouse style. So this is really changing in its late years. As I think I said before I don't think it will go much longer than another year.

Disappointing...there was some spice and dark fruit but the texture and complexity were really lacking. Nothing on the nose. Didn't get better with a glass held over the next night. I think the thing I've found with Raodhouse is that they are designed to be consumed young...me be up to 3 years. This is outside that timeframe. I've got 2 other bots that may or may not prove me wrong.

Clear pale garnet. Slate. Strawberry, Anise. Medium acids, low tannins. Cherry. Short slightly acidic finish. Tasting room.
