2020 opened November 2023. This redeems their uninspired 2016 vintage—which was too sweet for my tastes—although the 2020 may turn into a Manischewitz-style wine in five or six years as the tannins fade.

Black raspberries on the nose with balsamic notes.  bright red fruit on the front of the pallet. It has a thick, almost syrupy tannic structure, but the syrup is offset by the high notes of calcaire from the Adelaida District’s limestone plateau. It has a long mineral finish with a slightly bitter ending at the back of the throat. This pleasantly offsets its syrupy tannins, and it makes the wine much more interesting.

Another commentator described this wine as being warm. Yes! This is a warm, fuzzy, comforting wine that one should sip before a winter fire. What concerns me is that once those intense high notes evaporate (and they’re always the first go!) you will be left with cough syrup.  I don’t think this wine has a long shelf life.  Because of that, I’m going to drink up these bottles of Aspire within the next year or two. — a year ago

Deep and dark. Perfect crimson color & as sweet as cough syrup. Heavy legs, syrupy consistency. It's like Christmas in a bottle! — 8 years ago

Smells like tears... then nori. Tastes like the Wild West. Tumbleweeds blowing thru the outlaw town at high noon. Then like old folk songs by the fireside at midnight. Goddamn laureano serres. Then the tail end is all manischewitz & acidity. Also smells like dog tongue and stainless steel. — 6 years ago
