Evolving beautifully and likely not at its peak yet, this wine was gorgeous with cherry and cranberry compote flavors touched with cedar and dried herbs. On the richer, riper side of things but only just. A very fine way to spend an afternoon with friends (six feet distant). Well done @Ehren Jordan

Pure RRV feel. Loads of ripe red fruit and cinnamon on the nose. Palate is gorgeously silky. Pure fruit. Beauty.

Has aged very gracefully. Wow. Wow. And another wow. Gorgeous spice character and still plenty of cherry fruit intensity.

Dark ruby color in the glass. Venturi decanted...Slight wild game hint on the nose, roses and minerals. Light body with full flavors of black cherry, cola and spice. Perfect acidity and tannins round out a spiced smooth finish. @Failla Wines

Love the intense strawberry and rhubarb tones I find from this vineyard. This vintage also showing a little more black cherry, blood orange, spice, and more sandalwood. Balanced, poised, ready to go out of the gates.
