Nose: Red fruits, floral notes, red cherries. Taste: Light bodied and fruity. Not necessarily a Rotie favorite. Pleasant and easy drinking. Wife’s comments - Not as funky as expected. Likes the wine, but many other Rotie wines seem to leap out of the glass with flavor, but not this one. Will avoid purchasing from Wine Club.

Tasting at Rotie Cellars (SoDo, Seattle WA): This is really lovely right away. There is a delicious brightness to the red fruit as it fills the glass with red cherries, spice cake, raspberries, licorice, red currants, savory herbs, violets, and a touch of tobacco notes. The Full bodied feel is plush and refined with medium acidity and silky, medium+ tannins. This is flat out delicious. I would love to see where this goes with some age. It has all of the qualities right now and I'd imagine that 5+ years will take it up even more.

Sweat and funk on the nose, almost feral. Rich and chewy upfront with a lot of elbows. Dark fruits leading into cherries and a stoney mien. Texture is lovely and brings out earth and cocoa fruits on the finish. Dynamite.
