This wine is not well balanced or unique. It has fruit and earth, but they don't work together and the blend does not integrate to bring life to the elements, it just tastes like a double vodka cranberry.

This is well past it's prime (in our limited opinion) and with so much on hand it needs to be consumed quickly.

This bottle was warm tree fruit, full of apples and nectar, but the tart finish took away from the hope of something crisp and clean. Happily, this is not full of oak and vanilla, the fruit is standing up on it's own and would probably be 10pts higher if it was enjoyed 3 years earlier.

This was very different from the fog dog, more jam, higher tannins and a bit more life. This is past it's peak, but still enjoyable.
