A delicious, floral and musky nose that's almost sweet, with a streak of lemon that leads to a mineral palette with some bite and a soft fleshy finish.
An interesting phosphor and green stalk nose that is very expressive, despite it's young age. The palette is savoury and full of interesting, spicy acid.
The nose is full of ripe, red fruits, but is balanced with savouries and a struck match edge. The palette is full of beautiful tannins with balancing acid and an interesting smokiness.

A nose of raspberry, red currants and earth spice, laced with cherry liquor. The palette shows a great tannin profile which is chewy and while there is a bit of warmth there, it is well balanced. This is just superb.
A cheap and cheerful number, with red berries and smokey wood on the nose and a cherry palette with plenty of spice. This is exceptional wine for the price.
USA, Oregon, Willamette Valley, Eola - Amity Hills
There is a bold nose of smoked small goods with dried herbs and bright red fruit. The palette is textured with good tannin weight and a delicious cherry finish.

Ripe strawberries, cherry and cold tea with a bright acidic finish that is young, but precise.

There is a dusty and earthy note to the currant and spice laden nose that leads to the succulent palette that shows great ageing potential.
