  Popped and poured into a Glasvin Expression. Natural cork. 30% new oak.
  
  Intensely sour cherry and balsamic nose, with some baking spice and vanilla backing it up. The palate is light and cherry driven, but with a green and black pepperiness at the core that tightens it up. This is all framed by succulent acids and an imposing, fine tannic structure. The finish has a nice length and is spiced and peppery as well. Will be interesting to see the other bottle in another 3-4 years.

  Part of a 2019 Bedrock vineyard horizontal. Poured alongside Bedrock Wine Co., Carlisle, and Limerick Lane. This was WOTN. Elegant, rich and burly at the same time. Fantastic fruit (ripe blackberry dominates), great acidity and structure. Medium length finish. Totally open for business.

  14.9% abv. Dark ruby, plus aromatics. Ripe plum, blackberry, forest floor and a bit of mint and a dollop of white pepper on the finish. Excellent depth, length and balance. In my experience, wines from this vineyard take time to come around. I'm guessing this wine is still on the ascent and will drink well for many years to come.

  Very nice rendition. Power, finesse and accessibility. Should hold for a decade or more.

  This review after several days in WineArt…….
  Deepest magenta color…legs form quickly, but have good hang time..
  Nose is very nice with blackberry, thyme, and a definite cedar wood note…
  Bold berry on the tongue , wood, thins out on mid palate and ending
  But does have a berry tannin finish that’s better than the mid palate..
  Good wine… probably needs several years…
