Wines from National Wine Marketing Conference; 4/12/2010-4/15/2010: Also showing the signs of 2006-ness with a thinning middle and seams showing. Opened bottle was better next day with some of the acids sloughed off and the overall muting helped. Still some nice fruit.

Bright fruit on the nose, mostly some currants and medium cherries. Medium body and color. Fresh fruit on the taste with the cherries being foremost. Nice integrated tannins. Medium length on the finish. Nice food wine. Went very well with a marinated veal rib chop. Good wine from a poor vintage in Ohio.

Very brawny in appearance and texture. Down-low fruit, tobacco and cedar on the nose carry over to a slight gritty texture. Good balance and presence. Fruit carries over on the finish with good juicy elements and growing power. Nice.

Ohio vs Michigan Wine Clash 2008; 11/16/2008-11/20/2008 (Ann Arbor, MI & Columbus, OH): Nice. Pretty much dead-on with 9/8 notes and for both bottles at both venues. Even more textures apparent now. Rocking.
