Deep currant & boysenberry jump right up. As it relaxes I’m getting hints of cedar, oodles of crushed cherry. On the palate it brings a youthful but surprisingly composed, expressive and robust character. Perhaps a symptom of the ‘14 vintage, the tannins are extremely smooth and melt delightfully into h mid-palate of the wine, leading to an elegant, if not a bit demure finish.

Always delivers. Bright cherry and subtle plum jam.

Bright ruby color. Perfumed strawberry, vanilla, floral notes and earthy aromas. Medium body, medium tannins, with flavors of raspberry, nutmeg, and dried herbs. Long finish.

Stem, rose petal, tart fruit of cranberry, strawberry, raspberry, rhubarb, slight smoke with an autumn leaf and mezcal like complexity. Medium plus acid, great intensity through the palate. Nice wine.

Classic rrv fruit, bright cherry, pomegranate, cranberry, dried leaves and soil, nice expression better in 4-5 years.

The fruits seem overripe and syrupy. Blackberries, black cherries, strawberry preserves, raspberry preserves, lots of cola, red vines, red florals, vanilla, pronounced chalkiness, grainy dark minerals, crushed rocks with good acidity. It's a bit too sugary sweet for my taste. As well, the high alcohol shows in the nose, flavors and you feel it's heat. This wine is in the trick phase rather than the full treat phase this Halloween weekend. 👻 🎃
