Weightless, ripe cherry. Slight tug of earth. Fresh herb, slightly medicinal. Transparent, yet aloof.

Remember when you were a kid and used to eat those Chinese cherry candies? This wine tastes like a handful of those that have been sitting in a glass of water for a few hours, and then someone splashed a bit of vodka on top. As a 10 year old, that was a preferred beverage, starting off 5th grade with a 5th of Chinese cherry candy infused vodka. However, at 39 years of age, I find this wine to be a criminal act, a horrid display of wine making. If up to me, I'd have the government shut the vineyard down for violations against the people of the United States of America.

cherries, some tannin, medium acid. Very drinkable, but not amazing. 2012 vintage.
