This wine is drinking very well right now. On night one the nose was very expressive. On the palate, well balanced, lots of fruit, and deeper notes of chocolate and earth. Delicious. By night two had lost some of the expressive character, so I don’t think it will have a lot of further maturation with more bottle age.

Rich deep purple color. The nose is fairly ripe with dark fruits and flowers and a hint of cedar and herbs. The palate is bright with black and red fruit. Herbs and oak follow with a touch of spice and medium acid. Very nice lingering finish. Should continue to age nicely in the bottle. Great for this price point!

Intense notes of stewed plums, sour cherry, rhubarb, graphite, bacon fat and leather. Deep ruby in color with high tannins and bold body balance with medium acidity and relatively high alcohol providing structure. Hints of strawberry at the back of the palate in the finish, which is satisfying but not long. While I did enjoy this wine I expect better from Andrew Will, and my tasting partner for the evening was not a fan.

Great nose of red and black cherry, cassis, bay and other herbs, earth, smoke, minerals. Very savory, almost meaty. Red cherry, tart cherry, plum, blackberry, earth, and herbs on the palate. Juicy acidity, fine, lightly chewy tannins, medium-long finish. Seems a bit wound-up, could use a year or so to loosen up. That said, it drank very well over a few days.
