Massive blue and black fruits laden with spices and minerals and showing some salinity. Long persistent chewy finish. Acids keep this sharp and focused. Still quite young, will easily go another 5 years, perhaps more. Superb value, sub $24 from Oregon retailer 4+ years ago. I think this will even improve a bit with more time. Notes consistent with past bottles. Kudos to Sheridan Vineyards for this fine entry level Bordeaux blend!

Dark purple. Intense nose with blackberries, stones, violets and spice. The palate reveals a concentrated wine with violets, spice, blackberries, crushed rock and minerals. Big finish and firm tannins. This should age for a five plus years.
