  Wonderful nose of cherry with exceptional flavors of cherry and cedar with a wonderful long finish.

  While I don't have the time to write as detailed a note as the others, I will say this is excellent and will no doubt improve. Classic nose of cola, ripe cherry, a little anise/licorice, followed by black tea. Well-balanced on the entry, with deep, deep raspberry and cherry fruit, green herbs, more tea, with a cocoa-coffee finish that lasts for a while. Despite the richness of the fruit the wine is still taut and will benefit from a few years in bottle.

  Vibrant ruby color. A ripe and lush nose of crushed black cherries, the freshest raspberries, raspberry jam, and as delicious as the fruit is, it blends so well with the non-fruit nuances: deep earth, sage, tobacco, roasted chestnut, cola, yet it maintains this airy feel. Full and suave on the palate, so juicy and fresh with gorgeous fruit (black cherries, deep strawberries, raspberries). Dusty tannins, deep texture, crisp acidity, with complexities of tobacco, green herbs, black tea, with minerals and stony earth. This is so pretty now but it’s almost a shame to enjoy because it will sing so wonderfully in five or six years.

  Aromas include plum, raspberry, Bing cherry, blood orange, and dark soil. Medium bodied, it has astringent acid and finely grained, slightly gritty tannin. More elevated than the Coopersmith, it’s also juicier. Flavor-wise we’re talking Bing cherry, strawberry, red plum, violet, black pepper, and black currant. Earthy and compelling, I’d recommend aging this for at least three years.
