A bit earthy on the nose but not in an old world style...not too much going on in the nose. Sour cherry, new toasted oak on pallet. Medium light body. Very bitter finish...wondering if its whole cluster pressed and fermented...lots of green tannin.

Astringent, strong, alcoholic on the nose. Candied fruit---sweet cherry, strawberry, cotton candy (a bit), and some yeasty, sweet, and spicy flavor at the middle and end of the palate. The spice at the end really helps balance this wine out.

Too earthy, somewhat bitter. Fruit is faint. Would not buy this again.

Nose is faint but enjoyable. Floral and meaty nose. Would rate the nose 89, but the palate 93. Palate was phenomenal. Long, meaty,long finish.

Outstanding. Lush and deep, but not too heavy. Anderson valley is my new favorite region.
