Very meaty blueberry with some red berries. Little to no tennis. Acidic levels great. Body medium. Over all decent wine. My wife loves this wine--covid-19 wine

This one started off pretty thin and closed, but did it ever open up. Great aromas of spice, rhubarb, and maybe a hint of sour cherry. Palate is beautifully balanced with just enough acidity to support the alcohol. Lingering finish. Probably has a few more years, but I can’t imagine it getting any better. Drink up!

This is Sandy's. Very good, light on the pallet sweet cherry notes.
