  The color was immediately intriguing. For a 2015 I thought it would look younger. After tasting, my thoughts were comfirmed - this is on the downhill slide. Drink 'em if you have the 2015...
  Pale garnet with clear edges, clear burgundy color with thin colorless legs.
  The nose exhibits clean, light + intensity, florality with slight rose and lavender and berry fruit with spice pefume. Slight scotch tape and minerality with a hint of pipe smoke.
  Dry, med- acid, low tannins, med+ body. Shows Vess cola and cranberry juice, slight cherry and meat fat with some minerality.
  Finish = 18secs
  The 12.7% alcohol was an attractive attribute but it may the Achilles heel for this wine. Hopefully this may all change on subsequent tasting days.

  Light color, soft tannin. Strong initial flavor of oak, but mellows our to cherry and cola.
