March 28, 2014 - May be heading downhill, but really enjoyed it tonight. Bit of acid at opening, needed about 30 minutes of air. Not a ton of fruit left, aromatics a bit savory and some nice minerality went very well with pork tenderloin browned in duck fat!

July 13, 2011 - med+ body, med to med+ intensity, warm Cherry/Rhubarb Spice
Conc: Nice Balance with that Cali Sunshine showing through but with nice elegance to balance the fruit. -

February 18, 2010 - Nice cherry nose and color. The palate is rich with a caramel edge to the fruit. Some tannin/acidity comes through over the course of the 30 second finish.
