Still quite dark purple-red color, nose is quite closed, some mineral, iodine and black pepper aromas, red and black fruits which taste quite primary and youthful, great acid balance, structure shows in the long, lingering finish, I’d guess 10-15 more years of further aging on this to maturity, but awfully great tonight!! — 5 days ago

Inky and rich with dark cherry and sweet plum. Intense throughout, concentrated with firm yet well integrated tannins. Finish is at least a minute long. Fantastic now and will hold at least a decade. — 5 years ago

This bottle has been lying quietly for a couple of years. A nice balance of fruit, acid and tannins. Love in a bottle. ♥️🍷 — 6 years ago

So delicious!!!! A perfect balance of ripe (almost jammy) red and black fruit, licorice spice, and vanilla alongside sweet baking spice.

On the palate, it’s dry with medium(+) acidity, a medium(+) body, high alcohol, and medium tannins that are ripe and soft. — 10 months ago

2016 Sawtooth Tempranillo, Snake River Valley, Classic Fly Series. I have to say that Meredith Smith, the winemaker, did good on this one. It has all of the classic aromas of a Spanish Tempranillo. Besides the dark red fruit, it has smoke, leather, tobacco, full body, medium tannins, and is spicy on the finish, especially with food. Two thumbs up! — 6 years ago
