Secret Crush (Gerding Theater, Portland): A big wine that could use some food to tame it. Tannins are well-integrated, but dry the mouth a bit. A hint of spice and chocolate on the nose, with some serious cherry and blackberry fruit. Finish is nice, a bit dry, yet making my mouth water for another taste.

Packs a wallop at 14.4%; vanilla, cherry and plummy, big finish. Dig it. part of a ‘Christmas Cabs’ flight at a wine bar at Dulles Airport. Nice welcome to the USA.

This was good, with lots of toasted oak, blackberry, and weight. It wasn’t the Fidelitas I had from Champoux. It lacked a sense of place or terroir, but very enjoyable.
