Earthy,!leathery, with pure fruit and ample tannin, a very honest wine that is still young and quite impressive.

Tasting great. Earth, cherries, some forest, some baking spice. Would have guessed this as Oregon. Great with food.

Wow. This evolved over a the night. Tons of earth, funk, baking spices, tannin, cherries, raspberry, great finish. Look forward to exploring this region more.

Damn this is good. There is a wonderful and complex array of aromas that changes as you drink. It starts with tart cherry and raspberry with some earthy underbrush and a touch of spice. The palate is much the same but more spices on the palate. Medium to light body and quite elegant with a decent amount of tannin and acid to offer great balance.

A brooding, or maybe just contemplative wine, with pretty pine bough aromas and a meaty savoriness joining plummy, dark cherry fruit with a fair bit of fine tannin and acid supporting the fruit.

Great, lean, about as Burgundian as New World gets. Nicely done. Give it 3-5yrs
