It is good. Lots of tannins. Good fruit. Cherry. Leather. Tobacco. Long finish with tons of cocoa. 2011 is a tough year. Definitely would like to taste the 12 or 10.

Excellent wine, nice color, good balance of earth and fruit notes; silky on aftertaste

I really enjoyed this. Enough to think about but easy enough to not have to.

Plum and dusty raspberry, with a dried apple and olive wood accent. Tastes of cranberry, ostrich jerky, dried black cherry, cherrywood and dried violets. Subtle as shadows in a spooky wood.

Very lovely. Shows a good producer can show well, even on a difficult year. Clean, lean, dark fruit, toasted chestnut and cola nut. Touch of spice.

Fruity, chewy red strawberry flavors with good acidity.
