Dark red with just a touch of browning. Cedar, spice, and blueberry on the nose. Medium bodied, a mass of tart cherries, baking spices, soft woody tannins, a bit of smoke, mint, and a long finish. Lots of fruit even now, but lacking in structure.

I typically very much enjoy this wine. While it was still good, the complexity of the fruit was slightly less than in some previous vintages I've had. Also, it was a bit heavier of a wine and less fresh. Drink up.

I didn't enjoy this wine as much as the other reviewers. It tasted a bit out of balance and the acidity overwhelmed the finish. Not a bad wine but I was disappointed.
