On the nose, muted dark cassis, wild dark, brambly berries, dry stems, pepper, loamy soils, blackberry cola and dark fresh florals. The mouthfeel is big and lush. Tannins are soft and round. The fruits are very ripe. Blackberries, blueberries, dark cherries, black plum, black raspberries, dark chocolate, mocha powder, salted caramel, spice-box, soft leather, tobacco with ash, crushed dry rocks, stones, black tea & dark fresh florals. The finish is rich, lush and round fruits with just the right touch of earth. As well, the acidity is very good. Photo tour of; a long twilight view of the exterior of their estate building, main tasting room, tasting area in the barrel room and Winemaker Jean Hoefliger. Jean began his career in wine working for his godfather, who owns one of Europe's oldest wineries, founded in 1536 and located in Epesses, Switzerland. He also worked at Château Lynch-Bages and Château Carbonnieux in Bordeaux, Meerlust Inc., in South Africa, Fonjallaz S.A. in Switzerland and Hartford Court in Russian River.

Enjoying dinner in one of the true gems of Iowa- both the restaurant and town. This has a youthful voluptuous sweetness and plenty of oak. Red and blue fruits with a lengthy finish.

This is good. Now I needed a drink tonight so that might have been part of it but this is rich, full body, a great finish and really delightful. A decant would help but it’s great right from the pop/pour.

Lush and full-bodied! Blackberries, dark cherries, dark chocolate, and mocha with long finish. So sorry I only have one bottle.
