  Eldon Dumps His Bordeaux (Wine Cellar Club, Irvine, CA): Aromas of spice and stems, cola and rhubarb. Sweet juicy palate showing lots of apple skin like notes. Interesting but not really put together.

  Color- Clear, light ruby
  Nose - Cherry - bright cherry, dark cherry, all the cherries; some violet and other floral notes; maybe a little plum, too; oak lingering in the background, but present
  Palate - Sour cherries, cola, something floral or lightly vegetal, all in a way that say RRV to me; vanilla (from the oak), and oak (from the oak!). Lively acidity, but with a bit of body to balance it out. The finish is crisp and long, but sort of a one-dimensional version of the initial flavors.
  
  This seems a little out of balance right now - 6 months ago the cherry fruit was primary, delicious and refreshing; now it seems to be receeding a bit, letting a little too much of the oakiness come through, and just doesn't hold together as nicely as it did. Still, I enjoyed this wine very much, and am glad to have more, and more coming from the winery.
