  Fantastic! Well-balanced and Singing right now - beautiful nose and lazer of slightly sweet berries and mouthwatering baking spice down mid-palate and acidity that fleshes out - good weight and texture. Great lasting finish. Would say this will last for a few more years, but no reason to wait - pleasurable now.
  
  Had with Stephanie and Todd, accompanied baked salmon with horseradish mashed.

  Cherries, raspberries, spice. Silky smooth. Went very well with an assortment of Indian food, and particularly well with lamb chops. Rated 92 8/23; tasted again 9/23 and liked it even more. Long finish!

  Fourth and final bottle tasted. Garnet, opaque. Pronounced aroma of black cherries, black raspberries, pepper, toasted oak. Full-bodied flavors, rich and round, red and black berries, soft tannins, good acidity and viscosity. Flavors carry through to a long aftertaste of darker fruits, a touch of anise. Outstanding now, fully mature, where it should easily stay for several years. Even a touch better than North Slope, which is usually our favorite.

  Typical Russian River with notes of cola, spice and dark cherry. Good acidity and drinking well
