WhimsyWino Likes this wine:
February 24, 2024 - Appearance: pale ruby
Nose: medium+ intensty aromas of black cherry, mushroom, forest floor, earthy, raspberry, vanilla, red cherry, violet
Palate: long finish, medium body, dry, medium+ acidity, low tannin
I believe at time of tasting (February 2024) that this wine is past its best. It was still very enjoyable, but probably would’ve showed at 90 or 91 pts at peak, and is showing closer to 88 or 89 currently. -

January 27, 2022 - Light ruby colored; nose of cherries and tea with soft tannins, just right acidity and flavors of red fruit-strawberry and cherry with a smooth pleasant lingering finish. Complemented my dinner of spinach pasta with butter and Parmesan.

January 22, 2022 - 2017: open 24 hours...straightforward cherry and strawberry fruit nose. Lots of interesting fruit and spice fo the palate. Comfortably structured - no hard or sharp edges and just enough padding.
2016: smokey cherry and grilled meat. Palate has savory, sandalwood then cherry flavours. Tannin is hardly apparent and acid is enough. Really an eye-popping value.1 person found this helpful Comment
