Very approachable now--smooth. First impression is semi-fruit forward, deliciously dense body. Continuing, one discovers that the red fruit is more complex, with hints of rhubarb, blueberry, graphite and licorice, balanced by firm acidity and velvet tannins. This would pair well with roast lamb, pork or even herbed chicken. Richer than CDR but not as complex nor balanced as some other CDPs. Very good, not great but loved the density.

Bing cherry, tart notes of plum, lite finishing flavors of hibiscus.

Very soft wine. Smooth and well balanced but not exciting.

Enjoyable, straightforward, not sure this will go much further in terms of aging, fruit dominant, low complexity, pleasant
