Always good stuff from these guys. This one has gobs of cherry cola, pomegranate, vanilla spice notes and other great characteristics. Wonderful structure and finish as well. Glad I have more in my stash.

A wine that manages to float like a butterfly and sting like a bee. Whereas so many winemakers seem to equate intensity with ripeness, extraction, new oak, and alcohol, this manages tremendous punch while remaining light on its feet. Lots of fresh wild berry aromas and flavors, and when it hits the mid palate, the wine seems to resurge with pomegranate syrup, singing with a citric acidity that never seems tart, ending with a long comet-tail of cinnamony tannins. A long wine for the long haul.

Pale strawberry color. Nose of cherry, and cotton candy. Light to medium-bodied. Tastes of candied cherries. Low acid, low tannins. A light wine, but very quaffable.
