Finally had a chance to open this with my Father-in-Law. Sunday dinner with grilled salmon, herbed potatoes and kale salad. PnP, a little tight on opening. Bright cherry and some spice on the nose. Full body with dark cherry and plum, this softened up and became very fruity and jammy with good depth. I can see why this was awarded the Colorado Governor's Cup, very drinkable and one of the best CO wines I've had.

2019 Colorado Governor's Cup wines: Bright purple color. Spicy as heck on the nose, with mesquite, tar, black olive and cigar smoke on top of black currants. Full-bodied, smooth tannins, bright acidity, with deep currants and sweet, jammy black cherries. Beefy, grilled herb and anise notes. Ripe but fresh, it is a bit hefty, but the acidity keeps it lively.
