Good. Fruit is in the purple zone, dark savory notes include coffee and caramel, have to say wine is 15%+ (within the 1% variance of labeled 14.9% ABV), acidity is med+. A lil hollow on its own and could benefit from blending. Suggest pairing with coffee rubbed pork loin with blackberry compote.

Smoky and fruity, better at room temp. Went great with fall foods

This needed an hour and warming up to 70 F to get interesting. Plum, chocolate, chile spice, decently smooth tannins and acidity. 14.7%.

Deep ruby core, clean, dry, med. aroma intensity, strawberry, cranberry and rhubarb on the nose and palate, med. acid, med. tannin, definitely has pinot character with a bit of oomph. Medium finish. Good quality. Drink now, potential for aging 3-5 years.
