Devine mix of SRH barnyard funk and sturdy backbone of dark stone fruit and cranberries. 14.5% ABV. Color is deceptively light - might look wild if I could find my 3-D glasses. Cheers!

Light and nimble with a seductive side. Nose of mulling spice and bakers caramel. Wonderfully integrated. Lovely flavors of carnations, lush cranberry/cherry, cardamom and spice on the back of the palate. Terrific length in the finish.

Decanted for three hours, light in color-as in you could almost see through the decanter. Sweet tobacco and mulberry fill the nose. Somewhat one dimensional on the palate, black cherry and baker spice...that's it. Same spice carries over in the finish that goes on forever. A bit of a let down.

3D vineyard. Menthol, red fruit, potting soul and sweet tobacco. Tannins are a bit hard. Needs more time.

Just starting to show its true colors. Spicy, great perfume, high-toned fruit, wicked acidity.

2019 vintage. 100% whole cluster lifted bright red and blue fruits with great depth, complexity and a special flavor and finish. Still needs time and/or good decant. A special wine.

Lemon, honey comb, marzipan, good acidity, oily, a bit creamy, tasty. I’d drink now. Why wait?
