Sunday, May 17, 2020 - Quite a change from first taste in 2016- it has really filled out, amd it’s russian river ness is on full display. Cherry cola sweetness. A pleasant bitterness of cherry pits adds to complexity and while the tannins have resolved into the wine to some degree I wouldn’t say it has come to a harmonious place right now. The core of solid fruit has engrained itself into the structure of the wine but it’s a little disjointed. It is not in any kind of dumb phase as it’s pretty expressive of gun smoke- iron ore cherry plums slightly earthy. Made me wonder where it is in its life. Maybe a wine made to be so ethereal when young won’t find such harmony as it ages- maybe it need 5-8 more years
