We purchased this wine from the vineyard in July of 2008. While not necessary, we decanted the wine for 45 minutes. The color is very rich, a deep garnet. The nose on it is very nice with ripe cherry and subtle floral notes. There is even a hint of cocoa. On the palate is a very smooth and soft wine with a nice minerality, some cocoa and a very rich blackberry. A slight spice, clove maybe, comes in after first taste. The finish is very smooth and while it doesn't stay with you very long, you do get an earthiness, almost coffee or tobacco note.
