Retail $58. Really Heavy bottle (860g, 1lb 14.4oz). DIAM5 closure. Another wine in the Cherry Pie line, another really heavy bottle. Ugh. Lighter in both style and attributes than the San Pablo Bay Vineyard wine. Kind of by a lot. More, dare I say, Old World in approach? I know that has become a cliché, but in this case, it seems to be true. Subtle fruit (black cherry) on both the nose and the palate with a side of à la mode thrown in. The palate, again, is balanced, but far from in-your-face with delicate fruit, hints of spice, and just a dash of earth. I like this wine, a lot, but I wish I had tasted it first. 91 Points.
