Deep Ruby color with aromas of juicy red fruits, smoky cedar and floral spice. On the palate flavors of cherry and raspberry with toasty oak notes and cinnamon spice. Full-bodied, fine tannins, medium+ finish ending with fruit toasty-smoky oak and an earthy spice character. Nice! Pair this with maple glazed pork chop!

From the winemaker: Radian Vineyard is a radical and challenging site with high altitudes, vertical canyons, and difficult soil compositions. A stressed vineyard makes the best wines. Interesting cola or cherry cola on the nose. Earthy and medium bodied with a balance of fruit and a damp soil. Soft tannins and a nice finish.

Not my style but not bad. Good fruit touch of plum - black tea - touch of herbs. Plenty acid well balanced.
