Consistently awesome. With age, the fruit is more expressive and decanting or air isn't needed anymore. Will drink our last 2 in the next year I think.

Quite acceptable with no harsh alc or tannin left. Rate-able.

Pnp, consumed over . Nose: Medium expressiveness, black cherry, plum, new shoe leather, and hints of anise. Palate: Medium-full bodied, dark red fruit, spicy dark red fruit. This 2009 Summit still going strong in 2018, minimum tannins which is nice, fruit forward wine.

Prune, anise, has settled down but missing the tannins. Wish we had gotten to this couple years ago.

For a blend this was fantastic. Tend to like their wines a lot. Great balance. Aged decent.

Drinking really well. Soft with fine tannins. Excellent fruit, good structure. Softer than I normally think for mountain fruit.
