Should have decanted for sediment. Medium bright crimson color. Nose of cassis, black cherry, a touch of toasty oak, some purple florals. Still very primary. Similar flavors on the palate with a mix of dark red and black fruits along with some vanilla and spice from the oak. Medium+ acid, medium tannin. Smooth mouthfeel. I do not believe this wine is in danger of falling off any time soon but also not sure where it will go flavor wise. I would probably drink up sooner rather than later while the fruit still carries the wine.

Alot of Cherry on the front, more than I care for. A decent structure but a mild finish. Overall a pleasant wine, but not overly interesting.(Thank you George!)

Clear ruby color; dank blueberry, stone on the nose. Blueberry, plum, raspberry with tobacco notes, soft tannins, a bit astringent. Good aftertaste.

Bright red fruit, needs some more time in bottle for my palate. Still, well-balanced and very enjoyable. Wife loved this - 93 from her.
