PnP. Light colored but fairly big and bold fruit - sweet cherries and a touch of cranberry, cloves, and underbrush on the nose. Somewhat sweet, dense fruit on the palate, almost raspberry along with ripe cherries. Nice finish. Seems to be near peak.

Wow - this wine has aged surprisingly elegantly. Retains the pure fruit, with the darkness enhanced by the secondary characteristics and emerging layers underneath. Very well integrated, no ungainliness. I wouldn't expect it to get much better, but then I would have thought it had peaked a few years ago.

Seems to be on its downslope or possibly in a "dumb" phase. Fruit seems faded though what is there is still tasty. Not sure if this is drink up or hold wine.

This was an excellent wine that was outshined by its cousin the Keefer Ranch. This had that same "clear" fruit perception, but itwass darker both physically, and in its flavor profiles. It was imbued with dark cherry and earthy soil perceptions. It had a very nice and pleasing finish. It just stops a little short of the Keefer. Very nice, to be sure!
