  July 20, 2014 - Signs of seepage on the cork had me worried. I was relieved, however, at the aroma of fruit and Oregon funk wafting from the bottle. I decanted this for about 2 hours for good measure. Ripe cherries and strawberries jump out of the glass with some earthiness, fresh tobacco and lots of oak spice. Plenty of acid left to give on the palate with a surprisingly rigid tannin structure. I find it interesting that the 2011 vintage is drinking better than this one. Great now, but should reward for years to come.
