Drank over 3 days. Better each day. Beautiful red and dark fruit, medium (=) to full bodied. Balanced with smooth tannins, long finish. Very well made and satisfying wine.

Back and forth between two decanters 8 times then returned to the cellar for 6 hours. The most impressive Terry Hoage vineyard wine I have experienced from either winery. Upon entry, this bottle announced its power expanding immediately across the entire palate where it persisted for such a long time. There never was a distinct back palate but the finish echoed noticeably while the mid-palate held firm. The fruit is warm and seamless, creamy in texture and intense in a subtle and sophisticated way. So dramatic, a bottle I will never forget.

Decanted 2 hours prior to drinking. Dark fruited and tart cherry on the finish. Very nice.
