Smells of fresh pressed honey crisp apples - skin and all..
Cocoa, mint, fresh ground coffee, darkness lies in this wine in so many ways. So many wonderful ways. Dense and thick, tingling acidity, with well engulfed tannins.
Lovely.

Smells of bing cherry, and unsweetened jam.

A heavier bodied swirl, boysenberry, hints of eucalyptus, crazy lovely acidity, minty, peppery, inky. Again, crazy lively jolly rancher acidity.
Stay healthy friends.

Green pepper, slate, hazelnut. What a wicked nose!
I would associate this with South American, not a Washington state wine.
Hefty body, super viscous, mint, gravel, licorice. White pepper comes with every exhale, and the wood is balanced well with the acid. An really nice wine.

Deep ruby red. A bit elegant on the nose, with floral notes and red berries. Even a little something like dried guava and some acetone. Medium plus tannins (7.5/10) and medium plus to full bodied. Red berries on the palate with spicy notes. More specifically strawberries and raspberries. Long finish. Seemed a little like carmenere, interesting blend. Drink till 2023.

Color of dark purple, almost inky. Nice legs. Nose of nice aldehyde, currants, vanilla, dried strawberry, plums, and more currant and aldehyde. Nose is good and keeps coming. Taste of refined tannins, tasty flavors of dark fruits, ripe apple, a bit sweet yet balanced nicely with zesty and oaky note. Silky and packed with flavors. After taste is long. Some more minerals in the aftertaste. She is a beauty.

This was in good shape, for 9 years old, but still had a bit of ripeness. Still good tannins, acidity, and heft.

A random purchase. This more than exceeded expectations. Very good. Pnp. Dense creamy dark fruit aromas. BlackBerry, plum, chocolate, and balsamic flavors. No rush to drink em, this still has plenty of life left in it!
