After some brief airtime aromas open to show scents of red cherry, strawberry jam, raspberry coulis come laced with graphite, iron and saline tones along with spice, floral pastilles, hibiscus tea and hints of herbs and cedar. Upon entry onto the palate a wave of juicy medium-plus acidity is met with moderate slightly astringent tannins. Broad flavors of cherry pie, raspberry, and Washington red apple that come laced with spice, minerals, floral pastilles, hibiscus and hints of wood and herbs. The finish is long and structured.

Mainly Oregon (Noizé): Single blind. The ruby side of cherry. Cherry tune nose. Similar on the palate, some depth here, a herby mineral line too. Some ripeness around the sides too. Grows on one. ****

Opened about 30min before consuming. Well balanced with strawberry and cherry fruit but not overwhelming. A bit "stemmy" and surprising strong tannins with a mid to long finish. With the mild fruit showing not sure how much longer this one has, I will be drinking my other bottle soon.

A bitter twang on the finish really detracted.

Completely agree with Brougi1's notes below with a slightly higher score.
Delicious but fairly simple.
