Poured a glass using Coravin several days earlier and thought the wine was just okay. Finished the remainder tonight and was much more impressed. Earthiness, cherry and spice in a polished wrapper with a medium length finish.

Clear medium garnet in clarity and color. Aromas of strawberry and raspberry with subtle spice and cedar box notes. Medium bodied with flavors of black cherry and raspberry with touch of earthy mushroom all supported with nicely softened tannins that all linger on a lengthy finish. Very nice wine, can easily drink without food as the acidity is modest with good fruit flavors. This wines is definately peaked, probably got a couple year window left before any serious decline.

Great oak and fruit on the nose, with nice secondary spices. The body is full but not still on the lighter side (Oregon more than Cali). A lovely and delicate wine that has acid and fruit to age. Easy to drink now, I don't see a lot of reason to wait. At $75, it's not hot deal, but a lovely wine none the less.

No detailed notes. Still quite fresh, lots of red fruit, should be in prime drinking window for primary flavors.
