  A bit reticent at first. Ripe cherry and currants, spice as well. Bigger and riper than I expected based on the first couple of pinots. Cherry liqueur and spice flavors on the palate with medium tannins. I much preferred the refinement of the previous wines.

  Translucent ruby color. Medium bodied. Old fashioned cherry pie (i.e., not very sweet) with a hint of spice and even smoke on the nose. Savory red fruit, stemmy but luxurious on the palate. Quite long finish; some tannin grip—just the right amount for this stage of the wine, I’d say. Burgundian style, but at the richer end.

  Aroma of leather and spice.
  A bit tart cherry and strawberry
  Darker medium long finish
  
  As tartness fades with time, which I suspect, I think the wine will improve. I think best to wait a year or two before opening the next one.

  Tasting at Winderlea (Dundee Hills): Winery tasting. From the original blocks of the estate vineyard. Nose is full, dense, intense but not yet delineated -- dried black cherry and herbs. Wow, the palate has significant concentration and intensity. Sweeter red cherry. Lots of stuffing here that will require time.
