Just delicious. Beautiful nose and stepping into its prime with juicy red and black cherry components delicately framed with light shadings of sweet oak and wild berries that echo into a long finish. Fabulous all on it own or with food. My last bottle but I've laid in some '08s to see what may come...

Wow! This was really nice. Sparkling fruit at the outset, expected to fade given the age (I am clearing out a bunch of overly aged Pinots), but didn't really. Quite smooth and long too.

Backstreet - Oregon and Washington (Backstreet Wine Salon, Phoenix, AZ): Medium-bodied. Nice fruit and well balanced. Good complexity, especially after it opened up in the glass. My only knock on the wine would be that it has a hint of a metallic finish.

Yummmmmm. Cherry, earth, floral, very Burundian in style with nice integrated tannins/oak on a long 30 sec finish.
