I enjoyed this a lot. Definitely serve it at the right temperature; it was too hot on the first day we had this. It's got plenty of red fruit, particularly cherry, but it doesn't hit you over the head. It's earthy and spicy. Structure and tannins. A slight hint of mint on the nose. Might have opened this one a bit too soon; would love to try it again in 5 years. And maybe again 5 years after that.

Nov 16th, 2017Medium Ruby. Sour cherries, Haney,and definitely a NSG nose. Earth and tannins on the palate. Long finish. Very representative of the vintage.
