I started off not really loving/hating it, but by the end, it tasted like strawberry pie filling and I changed my mind into not hating it, or loving it.

2011 offers fresh cherry, raspberry, vanilla and dried rosemary on the nose. The palate has nice acidity with predominately cherry-vanilla, and a pleasantly light, smoky undertone on a rather short finish
