July 8, 2022 - Light ruby hue. Aromas of cherry, cream, grass, minerals, and smoke. Medium-light body, soft tannins, and plus acidity. Bright and balanced with a lasting finish. A little tight at first, but softens after opening a while with hints of vanilla on the palate.

February 5, 2020 - -- popped and poured; first glass poured approx. 30 minutes before initial taste --
-- tasted non-blind over a couple hours --
NOSE: sweet red cherry; light oak; leans "cool"; hints of cinnamon Red Hots and fresh flowers; expressive.
BODY: medium bodied; ruby color of medium-light to medium depth.
TASTE: solid concentration of sweet red fruit; medium oak; medium+ to high- acidity; 13.5% alc. a touch noticeable; a bit sweeter than I prefer, but pleasant and well-done. Drink Now and over the next 5 – 10 years.

July 20, 2018 - Nice soft nose of red fruit, a bit tight on the palate at first but opens to strawberry/cherry/red fruit. Somewhat fruit forward. Nice balanced feel on the palate. Not a lot of mineral or other non-frtuit flavors.
