Nose of blackberry, fig, tar, dusty forest floor, more of the same on the palate, medium/big body, mouth coating fruit, small amount of soft tannins present, delicious with cheddar, long, long, long finish.

Opened this bottle to pair with the Flemings Truffle Chocolate Gift Box. Nose of rich dark fruit with hints of dust, chocolate and soft unobtrusive tannins, more of the same on the palate, medium/big body, needs 2 more years to peak, paired well with the chocolate, medium/long cabernet finish and aftertaste.

This was an auction bottle that I purchased after tasting this wine in the Brenda's Vineyard vertical tasting. Nose of intense plum, raspberry, and earth that got better and better as the dinner went on, more of the same on the palate, rich, big fruit, big body, lots of sweet fruit on the long, long finish.

V2V tasting at Baldacci of 4 vintages of Brenda's Vineyard, second place. The first vintage of Brenda's and Rolando, 25 barrels age up to two years then the 6 to 8 best barrels are selected to make this wine. Nose of raspberry, quince, plum, and cough drops, more of the same on the palate, rich, tasty, mouth coating, medium body, and long, long finish.

Very nice dark berry nose. Noy very complex and somewhat primary but was still delicious. Strong ripe berry fruit, full bodied in the mouth with a smooth finish enhanced by huge gripping tannins. Should age nicely.
