Cherry and jolly rancher coming through with a tangy jerked spice note on the finish.

My whites have been much better. This isn’t awful but they probably make 100,000 cases of this. Still sitting on a boat on a Friday night with a lot of the humidity gone. There is a lot of worse things I could be drinking. TGIF!!

Having sat on a DC liquor store shelf for most it's life, it, surprisingly still has life to it! Barnyard funk and muted baking spice, pungently sharp, it is a survivor. Chocolate and small vanilla notes on the palate. Maybe a touch of cherry cola as well.

The nose reminds me of a Jura trousseau from Rollet : strawberry, hay, cherry too. Smells like something oxidised a small tad. The palate is soooo good. Strawberry all over the place, good acids, perfect balance, long finish with strawberry, silky tannins. I just want to go and visit some more malborough Pinot again

Not my favorite. I'm not a fan of the strong plum aroma. Drink quickly after opened!
