A big disappointment after the experience with other Idlewild wines.

Such fun. Three different wines over two days: first was gritty and edgy with that sensation Nebbiolo gives your teeth. 8 hours in, it was a ruby-red, violet-laced beauty. Next day secondary flavors dominated, still delicious. Love it.

Good as the last few bottles. On the nose, candied cherries and roses. In the mouth, red fruit, slight orange peels, high tannins with a definite edge of sweetness. Consistently well made and improves with 1-2 hours in a decanter.

Medium bodied, cherry/red fruit, eminently quaffable but complex enough to savor

A little overripe for me. Not sure if the providence was 💯

Light to medium bodied, cherries, cranberries, red raspberry, some tannin on the finish. These Idlewild wines are always so consistently solid.

Lean but powerful, blackberry, black currant and black tea. Loads of tannin on the finish - would love to revisit this in 5 years or so.
