Great all around. I honestly thought it was going to be a bust, the color looked off, kind of a dull and light red color. The fruit is hanging on with vibrant cranberry and dried cherry. I feel the flavors shown in this area are a bit rare and nicely distinct from other parts of the valley.

Ready to drink upon opening. Really like the aromatics on this and the palate is ripe without being overripe or high alcohol. I really enjoy this vintage and this wine is superb.

Strawberry, cherry, cranberry with plenty of acidity and just a little touch of earth. I agree on the Vitamin Water comparison. Not my style and not worth $30.

Cherries on the nose, some toast notes, ripe and forward notes. This is pleasant, plenty of acidity and restraint, and a fairly focused attack, with a lingering finish. Solidly made, if not especially deep or memorable.

Just like my previous note. Must say I am a fan of the screw caps, as the wine stays fresh. Drinking very well right now.
