11' It's coming together quite nicely. Better then just 3/4 months ago. Not quite as big...upfront mountain fruit like O'Shaughnessy/Outpost. Drinking with great depth & length. Smooth and effortless.

11' medium bodied. Middle and back of the palate are showing. Fruit & some light oak. Blueberries, ripened fresh strawberries. Complexity is lacking :$).Can't wait to try the 12' # wife enjoyed it. @ Ka'ana kitchen, Maui
