This is really nice, but still a little young. I want another year or two on this guy. Rainier cherry, but with this nice tobacco and roundness. (Winemaker) Brad said baking spices, and that about nails it.

2015 vintage. Red fruit, damp earth. Very subtle baking spices. M+ acid. Needs some time and it will be awesome.

A bit young. Needs more time to integrate. All the components are in place for a very good wine. But it needs more time. Tart and a bit herbal but still appealing. Good acid and a savory finish. If you've got a 2011, I'd hold for a bit.

Rating this on what I expect it to be in 2 yrs. Too young now but still good. Dried cherry, caramel, peppery.

Cherry, hibiscus, rose petal, magenta red, taste is immediately full with robust cherry, and an ending rose bubble gum taste, light strawberry at the end with some green grape fraun, acid is wavy with the fruit/sugar, very light tannin
