Prior bottle was a year ago and my notes were virtually identical. Red cherry and lighter, brighter strawberry on the nose. Nearly medium bodied and the fruit profile remains a combination of red cherry and strawberry. Especially through the middle, the red cherry contributes depth while the strawberry provides contrast as well as brighter, more youthful notes. Acidity and tart red cherry on the backside add structure and lead to a clean transition from mid-body to finish. The balance and harmony this wine showed is its greatest strength. Should be able to hold this level fora bit longer, but showing so well now, I'm glad I didn't wait.

Previously tasted at the winery 13 months ago, this was my first from bottle and it showed quite well. Bright cherry along with a watermelon/strawberry combination on the nose. Close to medium bodied lots of red cherry upfront, backed with brighter strawberry and tart notes of watermelon and tart strawberry. The mid-body showed more depth than my 2017 from yesterday and coupled that with slightly better balance. While the flavor profile remains consistent between vintages, this bottle felt like it had more density, a touch better balance and the potential for more complexity down the road. Wish I had a few more bottles of this as with only one left, I'll save it for June/July 2021.

Consistent with previous bottles. Loaded with juicy strawberry fruit and crisp acidity. Perfect with assorted meats and cheeses.
