Deep ruby color with viscous legs. Aromas of lavender, dried cherries, toasted oak, and vanilla. Medium + body, medium + tannins, with flavor notes of cassis, cherry, baking spice, and a dollop of cream. Medium + finish, with much potential to improve with additional bottle age.

Juicy and whiffing pierezynes, this little guy should've been left in his stable for a couple of more years. I appreciate the stylistic winemaking direction but it was not for me. I think 2011 was hard on a lot of people.

Makes me excited just smelling it. Elegant, complex, intense...delicious. A cool wet vintage with a good skilled winemaker is obvious. #employee

Really excellent. Nice fruit, light tannins. Silky mouth feel.
