Dark garnet color. The nose is full of cherry cola, blueberry and a noticeable “green” aroma. The palate is more mulberry/boysenberry focused with additional touches of black tea, tobacco and wild herbs. No noticeable oak. A definite “stemmy” note on the finish. Medium-plus finish and sturdy tannins. Tongue tingling acidity and mouthfeel. Nice freshness. Part of the North Shore House Wine Pairing Dinner on March 9, 2024. — a month ago

Sipping Fine Wine
Elegant Ruby color with red fruit aromas and gentle floral spice, aged for about 12 months in French oak, signature blend of grapes from Dundee Hills, Eola-Amity Hills, and Yamhill-Carlton AVA's. On the palate flavors of cherry and black raspberry with notes of herb, licorice and wet stone notes. Soft dusty tannins on a long finish ending with fruit, spice and earthy notes. Very Nice! Drinking well now! — 16 days ago
