The last two bottles I had we're not fabulous. They seemed to be in some closed down state. This bottle was quite nice. Dark cherries giving way to a complex earthiness. It has definitely benefited from time in the cellar.

Popped and poured. Deep garnet in color with a beautiful nose. Dark cherries, pepper with a pleasant earthiness in the mid-palate. Wine was not ideally balanced. Seemed to be a little hot on the alcohol and acidity. Back palate was non-existent as the finish was very short.

Improved from the last bottle 6 months ago. A little more integrated but still a big hit of tannins in the front and a oaky cherry finish. Beat out a Merry Edwards Pinot tasted the same night.

Really Enjoyed! Dense nose with some hints of vanilla. Solid tannins with a slightly cherry finish. A little off balanced with the high alcohol.
