2009. Orange/brick rim, cherry, orange rind, dried flowers, celery salt, blood orange, medium tannins, licorice, fruit blossom, medium acid and a long dry finish. Spaghetti night. This is great.

Cigar box, dried meat, dried herbs, sour cherries. Low acidity, full velvet body, pronounced chewy tannins.
