Korte Ranch located north of St. Helens along Napa River, having gnarly head trained vines, at least 70-years old, thriving there, and was a bonded winery before prohibition. Deep Ruby with aromas of black fruits and complex spice adding a bit of floral notes. On the palate flavors of black cherry and blackberry with layers of spices, cinnamon and vanilla with slight citrus tone. Fine structured tannins, long finish on this full-bodied wine ending with fruit, oak and spice character. Should develop nicely over next 5+ years. Outstanding! Tasting Sample!

Fruit forward, specifically a blackberry punch. Firm tannins, full bodied. Prefer the previous & post Elyse offerings so far, but this was solid.

Nice sweet baking spices. Nutmeg, cloves. Lots of dark cherries. Some light smoke which is nice. Great wine with BBQ and with a cigar.
