May 20, 2017 - Fragrant nose of black cherry jam and spice. Juicy in the mouth with mouth-coating red and black fruit. Long juicy finish. Just delicious wine. At first, Amy found it too sour, but after a couple of hours, with dinner, she loved it. Open for days, it is still amazingly complex and delicious. Rich and thick with flavors of wet earth and tree bark. Plenty of life ahead.

January 14, 2013 - Excellent! Wine has always been good, with lots of fruit but balanced by acid. Tannins have now mellowed, transforming this from a complex-for-the-drinkability pleasure to a genuinely fabulous wine.
