  • Still so much sweet purple fruit, high octane, a semblance of balance but at such a high ABV of 15.6%, actually aging pretty well.

  • Dark fruit is still there but the taste didn't evolve overtime when drinking for two days. No complexity but good structure.

  • Color: inky purple core -> dense ruby rim. Decanted 45+ minutes. Blackberry, boysenberry, cassis, violets with a whiff of white pepper at the end. Palate still fruit forward; blue and black fruits -- quite sweet on the attack from the ripe fruit -- plump (Rubenesque!) and looong. Soft tannins with a high-viscosity mouthfeel. This wine is a bit of a conundrum for me; love the intensity and fruit but I'm looking for more complexity (roasted meats, leather, road tar, earth, etc.) and not really finding anything beyond the primary fruit and flower elements (touch of white pepper notwithstanding). It's certainly pretty but still very young and I'm unsure this will develop the complexity I'd love to see. One more bottle in the cellar; will try to wait at least 3+ years in the hopes for more . . . .
    I generally prefer the Ditch Digger as I feel it brings more to the table and this vintage of the Dirt Worshipper hasn't changed my mind.

  • Massive wine, brilliantly layered with TONS of dark fruit, chocolate and licorice with a touch of oak. Nice balance with a silky finish that has me longing for more.

  • Huge wine, LOTS of fruit, silky texture with fine tannins, really in a great place right now -- this is excellent! Really enjoying it.
