Taste with H2 Vino at Bite Cafe. Nice nose. Dark black berry spice. Plump ripe black cherry and spicy raspberry. A touch savory notes. Fairly tannic, moderate body.

Dark core with dull red violet rim; sweet cassis, raisin, green pepper, vanilla, spicy, blackberry, boxwood; sweet cassis, cherry liqueur, good depth and texture, licorice, sweet and savory notes on the finish; very good if not better the next day.

4th Saturday Brown Bagger (Sue & Mike's): Aromas of vanilla and sour red fruit. Medium-bodied with flavors of vanilla, red fruit and spice, but turning sour on the mid-palate and finish. Guessed Tempranillo.

I have been underwhelmed by this cuvee in the last two vintages. However, the 'cool, marginal' vintage of 2011 has yielded quite the surprise here. The acidity doesn't seem manipulated and is quite low for the vintage. That being said, the wine is is an opaque deep ruby witha rich, loamy nose of black currants and wild raspberries, with some lightly buried tobacco, vanillin and a spicy, herbaceous PV note. The tannins are powdery and supple. Medium to full bodied, very approachable now with potential for improvement. Impressive stuff for $23!

Pleasant ripe dark berry and vanilla on the nose and palate with soft tannins on the finish.

That high high cherry fruit note of the horse heaven hills. Works at $25

Cassis nose. Lots of fruit and berries. Mild tannins. Long finish.
