Back, Back in the USofA (StrEat Restaurant, Austin, Texas): Had a light garnet core fading into a tawny colored rim with oranges hues. Fdruit aromas and flavors included dried cherries, black and red currants, plums and a touch of citrus; secondary aromas and flavors included baking spices, brown sugar, dried herbs, touch of old leather. This wine had bright acidity and a fresh character, was enjoyable however the finish was shorter than expected and appeared to be declining.

My last bottle of this vintage is a small miracle.
Wet but intact cork. Nose old leather, dried fruit.
Turbid, dark red / purple brick.
Presents like a well-aged first growth Bordeaux. Smooth, silky, full-bodied.
Falls apart a bit on a slightly tart finish. Otherwise perfect.

Cal Poly Pomona Wine Dinner (Kellogg Ranch - Pomona, CA): Interesting to taste. Notes of cherries, caramel, and what I can only describe as chocolate-covered pretzels.
