The final of 5 bottles. Still near perfect and more moist earth and bark. What a great production.

Sunday night WNH event - this is my third or fourth tune having this wine - I think it is stylistic between a burg and Russian River PN - extracted with refined tannins and enough acidity to make enjoyable -but it might have two to three years left

This wine was great. Distinctly WV. Delicious. Amazing grip while retaining finesse. 6 years old and still a baby. Those who passed on '11s missed it.

This is drinking great!
Nov 13th, 2016This beauty opens with an elegant layer of black cherry, currant and wild berries before evolving into licorice, cloves and a kiss of cinnamon. The ripeness of fruit hints at a fuller sized wine but the texture and acid stay true to its 13.6 abv. This is a pure joy to drink and glad I have 4 more bottles.

A wonderful Turkey Day play. Still bold and full if dense fruit.

Bright fruit, good acidity, slightly short finish.
