USA, California, Central Coast, Santa Barbara County
Strawberry and cherry on the nose, along with spice, and artificial orange flavoring. Earthy and spicy on the palate, with rich berry and citrus notes.
USA, Oregon, Willamette Valley, Eola - Amity Hills
Blackberry and pepper on the nose, with some tar and spice, and a little plum at the end. Rich and juicy on the palate, with loads of pepper, some earth, and a plumy finish.
Cherry and spice on the nose, plus a little smoke and a little rose oil at the end. The palate had roses and cherry, some spice on the mid-palate, and a good raspberry finish.
A wonderful nose of pepper, bramble, concentrated cherry juice, and earth. Not as good on the palate, but still nice. Cherry and earth, pepper and bramble, and a little spice on the finish.
Tobacco and black currant on the nose, with licorice and plum, and a little spice at the end. Slightly tannic on the palate, but with lots of fruit yo cover it up. Black currant, plum, and cherry upfront, with tobacco and earth in the middle, and some licorice on the finish.
Spicy, with lots of berry on the nose. Underneath is earth and flowers, and a little pepper. Berries and pepper on the palate, with earth and flowers on the finish.
