Best TM wine I've had in some time. Full, rich, nice concentration and layering. Good ripeness, with black cherry, earth and spicy overtones. Great bottle from their estate vineyard.

Garnet color, all the way to the edge. First aroma of black cherry, spice and muted floral notes. Good mouth feel, soft to medium tannins. Intense red fruit, spice and earth on the palate.

Tasting the Willamette Valley--Take 2; 7/9/2008-7/10/2008 (Willamette Valley, OR): Dark ruby color. Nose of dark cherry, earth, spice. Palate of black/red cherry, some spice and good earthiness with a backbone of tannins which will make this probably the most ageworthy of the flight. This was the most Burgundian of the flight. Could score higher with 5-8 years in bottle.
