Good not great. No real wow here. Perhaps attributed to age? Recall these Dains as far more vibrant, fruity and flavorful. Alas not wines for the ages. Still nice tho

13.9% alcohol. Dark red color. Nose betrays a riper wine than the alcohol would indicate. Dark berry, slight funk, and distinct earthiness on the nose. A very pleasant, ripe fruit character to the bouquet. In the mouth, lovely texture, with a blackberry fruit, minerals, a bit of apple skin, and earthy spice notes. The acidity has resolved nicely but still retains some bite. Long finish is lovely. Drinking beautifully now. A-

Quite nice. Red cherry, hint of Cali funk, touch of spice. Smooth tannins.

Black currant nose, slight tartness, ripe black fruits and a hint of chocolate. We will miss Dain's wines. He made such nice ones.
