Medium Ruby color with aromas of red fruits, cedar, flowers, herbs and spice, aged for 11 months in 30% new French oak. On the palate flavors of sweet cherry and strawberry with toasty notes, tea, herbs and pepper spice. Full-bodied, fine savory grainy tannins, long finish ending with fruit, herb, oak and a savory earthy character. Nice!

This one had too much old barn and wet dirt qualities for my taste. There was still some fruit and acidity but it was muddled in a way that was more unique than enjoyable.

1992 vintage. Fresh Bing cherries, stewed plums, red rose petal, soy sauce, gun powder.
Fine tannins combine with the acidity to mirror the aromas. Long finish.
