2014. Yummy acidity and fresh fruit. Restrained tannins. Sooo much better after breathing for 1.5 hours.

2011. A bit funky but not too funky. Bright and pure strawberries paired with some port-like notes - which is odd, right?

Needs about an hour of air. Really beautiful fruit emerges after some time in the glass. Much more elegant than I was expecting.

Slight spritzy-ness! Tart, deep spicy berry flavors. Dark but medium bodied. Pleasant and fun with an edge.

Strongly perfumed nose, strawberry vinegar, pencil shavings, rose and pine. Opens nicely to blueberry pie. Bone dry. Muted tannins.

Surprising refreshing with a black cherry tangy quality that is not tart. Terrific balance of flavors and with a fairly long finish. Having it with beef stew and couldn’t be happier about it. The one minor drawback: it’s a bit short.
