Tasted Sonoma and Russian river range. Expectation was high but realized the range are meant for different audience. Akikos range felt more sweet for my liking. The initial oak and strawberry notes are very promising. Right balance of alcohol and acidity. Cherry and herb are noticeable after decant. Only comment I have is the sweetness kinda empower in some way. Overall I prefer the Sonoma range for it balance in all areas.

Still drinking really well, great with the additional age on it since the last of these we drank.

The oak overpowered the fruit for me.
