March 19, 2013 - Cloudy purple-red, fairly light in color. Spot on dusty cherry Oregon pinot nose. No weight at all on the palate, though, and not much fruit. A bit of the cherry right at the start, but then it fades into a non-existent finish. I popped and poured. Maybe it will get better with some air.
color 3/5
nose 8/10

September 26, 2012 - Bright cherry notes not very structure in the palate, alcohol showing a little. Finish was short. However the nose is worth the price.

April 6, 2012 - Garnet colored fresh fragrance of apricot, raspberry, and strawberry. Dominant flavor is strawberry. Light to medium bodied with a round and smooth texture and medium finish.
