This one is the "Lazy River Vineyard" one... On the nose, this is raspberry and red cherry... On the palate, this is raspberry, red cherry, cherry liqueur, blackberry, and cherry cough syrup... There is some acidity... It's lively... The tannins are everywhere like pillows... I think I'd like this settled down with some more years in the bottle... It really is big and not so much my style... I notice the blackberry and even blueberry notes toward the end. Cigar box. A long finish of perceived raspberry syrup. I'm very aware of the alcohol level drinking this. I feel myself getting a canker sore in my mouth. If young, big wines are your thing, I think you'll like it.
