Tasty oak vanilla and bright fruit. A little candied with residual sugar. Tastes like caymus

Amazing how well this has held up. 10 years in my cellar and it is so similar to the wine I tasted back then. It definitely leans a bit towards the new world in ripeness and richness but still has plenty of balance and varietal character. Wild cherry, black plum, red licorice, with lots of sweet spice, brown sugar, and a slightly medicinal undercurrent on the long finish.

Clean, subtle fragrance. Wonderful fruit. Wonderful balance, depth of flavor, and intensity.

Sting fruity aroma, Ruby red when pouring but deep translucent purple in the glass, exceptionally flavorful red fruits - particularly raspberry and cherry. Notable balance of acid and residual sugars on the finish.

Nice ruby red color. Smells funky and very berry. Flavors are clean and juicy. Incense and wood smoke on the finish. Classy, delicious stuff.
