Okay, this will have to be a two stage rating" as want to give it another shot after being open for day. Initial impressions, quite a bit of heat, intense spices. Not that impressed but unfair due to it not having enough chance to open and warm up a bit.

Nose was delicate and spicy with strawberry, but after that, sort of thin, and awkward rhythm to this wine. Earth, acidic without that much body. Like a badly played Bela Bartok piece. I wanted this wine to be more than it was.

Dundee Hills Passport Weekend; 4/17/2010-4/18/2010 (Dundee Hills Oregon): Dark cherries show on the nose along with a bit of heat. The texture on the beginning and mid palate is well done, with light cherry and spice flavors showing through. Some heat shows on the palate as well, but the acidity is solid throughout the experience.

Light red in color. Spice and red fruit on nose and palate. Some earth on palate as well. A little tart at first, but did seem to soften

A light wine with spice, floral and earth. Palate is similar to the nose but acidity is too high. Medium finish.
