Dark ruby in the glass, nice aromas of red and dark berries. Palate falls short of the enticing nose, is medium bodied with some berries and dark cherry, earth light tannins and acidity. I was OK with chinese style seafood.

Aaaahhhhh! After a couple of Cali Pinot's I was longing for an OR Pinot. This was exactly what I had missed. Nice strawberry and dark cherry on the nose with some spice and moist earth. Cherry cola without the sweetener on the palate as well as straw and mushrooms/earth. A little tart on the end which should mellow with time. Nice acidity which helped blend the wine perfectly with some bbq'd Salmon.

Dark ruby color. Aromas of black cherry, clove, cinnamon, blackberry and damp earth. Medium bodied, with good acidity and flavors of black cherry, mulberry and spice. Turns slightly tart on the finish. 87-89.

Right on the edge. Good nose but slightly acrid finish. Nice dark berry,plum tones. Drink now.

a touch too herbal for me. this appears to be a victom of whole cluster fermentation. the fruit is lost behind the vegetal flavors
