  Did have a funk nose. Not much fruit. Still good with pork pulled sandwich.

  Slight Walla Walla funk on the nose. Good balance between oak and fruit, finishes dry. Next day, fruit mostly gone, but still good with food.

  The first night this was all oak, oak and more oak. The website says this gets 60% new oak, and it shows. There was some hidden dark fruits and a nice texture, but it was hard slogging to finish two glasses. On the second night, some but not enough of the oak has dissipated. There's more blackcurrant fruit and tar, the texture has softened, and there are healthy tannins. Nice concentration. This is very young still, but I don't know if the oak will ever move to the background in this quite modern style wine. I've give this several more years before opening and hope the fruit can come to the front (B).

  Dark and bold fruits wrapped in green wood. Perhaps a bit more time in bottle will help soften this wine. However, this is demonstrating a lull on the acidity scale and I am unclear if this will improve in said time.

  About what I expected from a Saviah wine. Very good structure with deep, dark color. Vibrant fruit that is very satisfying, yet just doesn't reach that upper level of a great wine. Drinking very well.
