Medium tannic structure, making me believe it has another 15 years ahead of it. Expressive black cherry, plum, deep black and red licorice, minty tobacco. Incredible one minute finish.

Loads of beautiful cherry pie, jolly rancher type notes. Pretty sweet density and plushness to the wine for the ‘17 vintage, aided by notes of scorched cedar, vanilla bean, raspberry purée, mint with good acidity and chewy tannins! More cherry one the finish.

Black cherry, Luden's cherry cough drop, red raspberry, red licorice. Slight menthol and sweet cherry pipe tobacco. Medium bodied, needs more time to show its depth, but lots of potential.

Tasted at the winery. Medium plus violet color. Sweet kirshy nose with good depth and interesting spice profile. In the mouth, sweet Cabernet fruit, balance by spice medium +2 and I’m good at it. This is an interesting and complex one that should develop nicely for the next 20+ years.

Needed a 2 hour decant. Black cherry, tobacco, licorice. Nice, but definitely two steps back from the '16
