Cherry, raspberry, cranberry, strawberry, spice and oak. Good structure and well-integrated tannins.

2009 vintage - bought at winery. Cedar, berry, eucalyptus, fruit leather and black currant in nose, even black pepper when first opened. Slightly bitter cough syrup, berry and black current in mouth. Complex but yummy, esp. With food

So happy to have another 2011. Earthy, clean, 13%, and perfect food wine.

Having and celebrated this wine over the years,might be a bit past prime, although still borderline transcendent and not tasting the least bit tired. Nose now tertiary with that wet forest floor thing surrounded by warm brown spices, fresh pine baking chocolate, a musky floral note, and a sanguine undercurrent. On the palatestill showing raspberry and cherry although darker and sweeter than 2 years ago. Still good body with solid medium to medium plus plus acidity and very drying tannins, although the spine is not at peak performance at this point. With a6 hours of air started to show more elegance, brighter, more red cherry fruit, and even some up front floral aromatics that recall volnay, albeit framed in a very willamette valley set of accompanying flavours

Stunning example of Jay's talent and the fruit sources he has access to. Mostly Abbey Ridge with a little Charlie's thrown in for good measure. Soft and approachable, with that terroir note of blood and iron running through it. Classic Dundee!
