Bought this for a steal at only $28.00 at Wine Watch.

A mix of garnet and brick red. Elegant nose with lots of floral and red cherry notes. Layered with some raspberries and strawberries too before some rocky notes in the finish. Moderate acidity (5.5/10) and moderate tannins (5/10). Light to medium bodied. Bright on the palate with tons of red berries and perfumey notes. A little toasty in the finish too. Smooth texture, long and lingering finish. A little bit of cherry cola too. Drink till 2023.

A bit reductive and wound tight. Needs a few years to really shine, but this shows all the potential of Oregon's 2013 vintage.

This wine is singing. Cloudy appearance with burgundy hues. Cherry, strawberry, dried cranberry, cinnamon, and nutmeg on the nose all thread seamlessly through to the palate. A little bing cherry note comes through on the long finish. Beautiful balance on this wine. Is probably peaking right now, so with the light, delicate tannins that are left, drink over the next couple of years.

Should've waited but just couldn't! Rough day deserves a gem of a wine.
