Drink by date here on CT ends at 2013.....that's cute. This wine was probably approaching optimal drinking at that time. This wine is showing the slightest hint of age, and it's on the front. The nose of this wine is very youthful. Black cherry and mint and a hint of fig and has quite a bit of sweeter and youthful 'Jolly Rancher' kind of character. On the palate is black cherry and herb on the front with saddle leather. Middle gains a dried tobacco and wildflowers. Finishes more to the medium bodied side. Really neat. Would have guessed this was an 08.
