  Spicy fruit forward nose...really nice. A little oily on the palate with a zesty peppery cherry component and moderate acidity. Medium body with a medium finish. Not complex but very enjoyable.

  The wine is a deep, dark maroon color. The very outgoing and friendly nose features blackberries, Asian spices, black pepper, dying charcoal embers, cherry, vanilla, blueberries, and bittersweet chocolate. This is fairly full bodied with ripe tannins and good acidity. The palate is loaded with juicy berries, spice, and pepper. The finish is fairly long with some dark chocolate adding a nice element to the spicy, peppery, berries. This is drinking very nicely and should hold in the cellar for at least another year or two.

  This was pretty much a pop and pour tonight. This is a deep, dark maroon to purple color. There are blackberries, charcoal, black pepper, smoke, meat juices. vanilla, black cherry, and baking spices on the warm and comforting nose. The wine is fairly full bodied with velvety tannins and good acidity. This is locked and loaded on the palate, full of fruit, pepper, and spice. There is a long flavor filled finish full of spicy fruit. As with most Two Hands wines, this is full of ripe fruit but it is not sweet or syrupy. This is in a prime drinking window, drink over the next year or two.

  Pop and pour. Deep maroon color. Blackberries, charcoal, black pepper, vanilla, smoke, meat juices, baking spices, cherries on the rich smelling nose. Full body with solid, ripe tannins and very nice acidity. Rich and velvety on the palate with load of smoky, peppery, spicy berries. Nice length on the spicy finish. Full bore and ready to roll.

  Opened, but not decanted for about 2 hours. Deep, dark maroon color. Smoldering embers, blackberries, licorice, vanilla, meat juices, pepper, and just a bit of cherry on the nose. Medium to full body with solid, ripe tannins and very nice acidity. Velvety and rich on the palate with the fruit leading the way but nice savory notes in the background. Ripe but not syrupy and no raisin notes. Fairly long and very flavorful finish. In primetime now, but no hurry on this one. It won't improve but will hold for a few years.
