April 10, 2012 - 13.6% alcohol. Dark red cherry color. The nose has evolved to be dominated by cranberry notes and earthy, floral nuances. In the mouth, quite intense, with tartness of the cranberry fruit. Right now, the tart edge the fruit has taken on makes it and the acidity dominant on the palate; it's nice, but not as complex or complete as previously. Looks like it could use a bit more time. Certainly lots of life yet. A-

June 10, 2011 - Drinking very nicely! I wish I had more. Nothing more to add to my notes of 10/0/2010, other than to say it is still improving.

March 2, 2011 - 13.6% alcohol. Dark black cherry color. Initially a bit tight on the nose, but it opened up very quickly and revealed lovely character. The bouquet fills up with black cherry, earth, minerals, and a smokey note. In the mouth, concentrated, focused, and tremendous balance. The layers of juicy black cherry, earth, spice, and minerals work together beautifully. The wine has a bit of a chameleon character, showing fruit up front but then trading off with rich earthy notes. Velvety texture is retained despite bright acidity. The finish is long and singing. Really marvelous. A-/A
