A very full mouthful of fruits at the lighter end of the spectrum, strawberry, apricot, and plum. Nice tannin to hold it together with a finish that has a little black pepper at the end. Enjoyed with a turkey chile.

Still drinking fresh with medium fruit and tannin backstop. Wine is balanced and still in a position to age. Sweet dark cherry and vanilla middle. Drink now or continue to age. No sign of fatigue.

Nice garnet and purple color. Medium bodied with no hard edges. Sweet and sour cherry, spice, vanilla, some road tar. Dark cherry and spice nose. A little heat on the finish after two hours in the glass. Very enjoyable and in the beginning of it's drinking window of 10 years. I believe in seven years you may see some secondary characteristics as there is enough fruit and tannin to hold this together for some time. No rush to open, but certainly enjoyable now.

Deep red, mature integrated fruits with tannin to bind it together. More about strength than suppleness. A good partner with our salmon dinner.
