Dried mint, dried strawberry, cinnamon nose. Still a little juicy acidity on palate, faintly medicinal, paired well with smoky grilled pork in lemon garlic sauce.

Dried strawberry, old red zinger tea, cinnamon, dusty basement nose. Lots of almost biting acidity gives a freshness to the strawberry fruit, but a bitter metallic note looms over the sweetness. Definitely a Draper wine.

Ruby color. Cedary, basement, dried strawberry, herb tisane nose. Very high acidity and a lick of tannin still. Some strawberry but very little sweetness and mostly tart acid, a whiff of old oak even. Enjoyable if you can handle the acidity, and better with food, but still intact and fun to drink and quite different from the current Geyserville/Lytton Springs. 12.4% alcohol.

some interesting moments, but unfortunately dead. Prune juice, smoke.
