Light ruby purple color. Fleshy style with generous fruit offering notes of black cherry, plum, tea, and roses supported by fine tannins and good acidity. Sourced from vineyard at 300-500 feet planted to mixture of Pommard and Dijon clones 115 and 777 aged 10 months in 50% new French oak. 13.5% ABV. $60.

Classic cherry notes. Still young, yet has soft tannins.

Well balanced. Needs about 20-30 minutes to open up. Great fruit with an elegant finish. Surprisingly a little thin before opening up.

Smooth with lingering notes of a carmelized dark cherry. Round tannins, but feels like it’s missing something on the initial sip that is causing me not to rate it higher. Very nice wine.

High tone cherry with some depth. A little grippy and well with sweet tannins
