Dark red at the core, translucent at the edges. Bright berry and spice aromas. Bright, spicy fruit on the palate, cherries, raspberries. Smooth tannins, bright acidity, good balance. Finishes a bit hot with black cherries. Over the course of 45-60 minutes, it switched to brighter and lusher and then became muddled. Nice enough on opening, but I'd drink up. Score given for first 30 minutes.

Very smooth with lots of blackberry with dark cherry, a little burnt sugar and vanilla. Good balance. It is either a shame, or a blessing for the people like us that know about David Coffaro, that he is not more well known. I have never had a bad wine from them.
