  I liked this wine a year ago and I like it more now. On opening, it had a really odd, off-putting wet basement smell. I thought something might be wrong with my glass so I switched glasses. It wasn't the glass. But the wine itself was fine. After about 30 minutes the icky smell disappeared. At that point, the wine was beautiful - bright red, sweet strawberry/cherry fruits, enough acid to carry and a finish that was dusty, spicy-tart and long. Very nice wine - better value.

  Lightweight perfume strawberry, nose subtle, muted. Good bit of mushroom earthiness. Balanced. Enjoyable and interesting bottle for the price.

  Like the old school goal and low 13% ALC but this left me not wanting another btl. This is a bit funky, earthy, with some cinnamon, blackberry and earthy flavors. Can't put my finger on it but the particular combination of flavors just didn't appeal. PNP into a Oregon PN glass. Like the nose better than the palate. At $18 I was hoping to love this as a potential "go to" week night PN. I'll try another vintage someday.

  Off the list at The Modern. Light in color. after 20 minutes, the wine opened to wonderful light bodied, elegant red fruit. Nice balance. Excellent value at sub $25 retail.

  Garnet stone color. This boasts aromas of cola, lavender, spice and rhubarb pie. This has some flattering oak on a polished opening. I was immediately impressed. I've had this producer recommended to me several times and I now see why. The flavor profile echoes the cola, tart rhubarb and spice and has a tendril of fresh strawberry interwoven through the whole. Juicy and round with a resonating finish. I drink a lot of great wine, but this stands out. 92
