Dark ruby, cherry nose. Dry, fruity, metallic mineral with a little heat on the PnP. Stemmy tannins, medium tart fruit, cranberries, pomegranate, still a little raw with some bitter. More bottle age should help. Much better when not eating ridge cut/black pepper potato chips. Drinking more like an Italian IGT which I am getting with the '08 WK clonales lately. Showing some good acid, soft tannins, bitter gone. "Getting better all the time." Heading to the bright red berry that I love in a Pinot.

My favorite of WK clonals. Oak could be a bit more integrated. Hints of raspberry and currant evolving into heat, vanilla and oak.
