In a really good spot right now. Classic text book flavor of dried cherry, tobacco, and turned earth. Nice linearity and acidic structure with an elegance and femininity that defies the oak use.

It smells crunchy and it’s got oodles of dirt but you will be shielded from excess earth by abounding berries and cherries. And pretty lil flowers. I could smell this all day. And drink all night. Because I try not to drink until dark. 2014 vintage made a sleek vintage totes ready to jump into now. As I am doing. Apologies for using the term “totes”. It just felt apropos.

Yup, it's a red burgundy kind of day. This went down way too easy on a school night!

2006. Aromas and flavor of dried porcini made this a great match for a roasted leg of lamb/lamb sausage dish at Heritage Food & Wine.

Time to drink this wine. Earth, mushrooms and black pepper mix with raspberries and cranberries.

8 yrs old but I'd hoped for a bit more gravitas. Red fruit with some welcome acidity and subtle spice.
