May 12, 2023 - Nose is controversial. Some say, stones, others describe it as red fruit with mocha notes. Body is red fruit with fine tannins, and a peppery finish that lingers. Enjoyable with food, but would stand alone. Drink now!

June 13, 2020 - Medium ruby – red cherry, clove, raspberry, vanilla, baked cherry. Medium- acid, medium- tannins, 14.7% ABV, medium- body, medium- finish. I was looking for a lower acid wine to pair with Baked Apricot Chicken (made with apricot/rhubarb jam and pear butter, so it had some sweetness to it), and this was just fantastic!
