Got home from work and the bottle had been opened by the spouse; not sure how long it was opened. Ruby color, fairly light nose with hints of Asian spice, raspberry and strawberry. On the palate it is also light and really an acid driven wine with raspberry and strawberry dominating the flavor profile. For being an 08 I guess I'm a little disappointed.

Nose of cherry with a hint of roasted hazelnuts and strong smoke and hot stone over tones.
Cherry, raspberry on the attack, and a brief mineral mid palate.
All the pieces are in place for a good finish until the acids crush everyting with a puckering assault.
I've been drinking Argyle for many years and am a great fan. This is the worst vintage of Clubhouse of the last six I've tried. Which is a real shame given the 2008 growing season was near perfect.

Nice but not great. Acidity hits first then gives way to some berrries. Long finish.

At its peak or maybe a little past. Did not evolve much over the two hours we drank it. Dark cherry, tart strawberry

Aroma of cherry, with a hint of coffee, which was unexpected. Fruity, with cherry and raspberry, but a bit too acidic.
