- Garnet color and aromas of cherry, vanilla and cedar. It's somewhat balanced with a medium body. Narrow texture with a medium finish - Disappointed. Lacking fruit and very quick finish.

Pop and pour. Tasted initially without food and then the following day. Dark color. Nose offers red cherries and some spice notes. Acidity is present but at times seems a bit disjointed.

Closed on opening and never really gave much. Not bad but not exciting. I'll give my other bottles a few years to see if the wine was just in a bad place right now.

This wine is terrific, even from this tough vintage. I was very impressed; I let it decant about 45 minutes before really digging in. It was lovely, almost tending to the rich Napa Cabernet end of the red/black fruit spectrum, if that makes sense. It got far more floral and light when paired with Jasper Hill Farm's Willoughby cheese. Do yourself a favor and try that cheese with this wine, if you can...outstanding.

Excellent bottle here with airtime. Less extracted than most RRV PN. Still leads with big cherry and kirsch.
