The nose was big and rich with crushed wild berries and hints of vanilla. On the palate, it was luxurious with fresh cherries and spice that filled the senses. The finish was long with cherry and hints of wood.

(Macari Vineyards Bergen Road North Fork of Long Island) A Bordeaux-style blend that shows off the ripeness of the 2007 vintage without going over the top with extraction or new oak. Intense aromas of black plum, blueberry and blueberry compote burst from glass with lavendar-rosemary herbal notes, sweet red cherry, bittersweet chocolate and espresso. On the palate, it's medium-to-full bodied, but again not overly extracted with ripe, fine-grained tannins providing a nice foundation for more ripe dark fruit and sweet herbal flavors. With a bit of air, the mid-palate displays a distinct earthiness that leads into a long cherry skin finish touched with coffee and chocolate. Drink now -- but decant -- or nestle it into your cellar for a few years.

Drinking well right now... fruity with mild tannins.
