Jammy blackberries, mocha, and dried cherries on the nose. Still very young, but drinks well. Extremely ripe palate but enough acidity and vibrancy to carry it though.

Nose has blackberry jam, old cedar closet, wet leather, dried blueberries, dried cherries and moist mahogany shavings.
Palate has blueberry jelly with a dash of cayenne, blackberry fruit leather, humid cocoa powder, dried tart cherry with a long finish. The blueberry jelly notes persist for 1-2m, amazing.
Decanted 5H at time of notes, continuing to evolve. 🥳 Enjoy 2026-32, from proper storage.
Paired with our Superbowl Sunday traditional feast, pulled pork. This year were going local (as always) with both pork shoulder and ham hocks from our bi-annual purchase of one-half piggy from Highland Farm (Old Chatham, NY); love your farmers! Shoulder was dry rubbed and rested, then into the slow cooker for 9H, talk about falling apart!
Pork shoulder and hocks for two...I pretty much know what my lunch is going to be for about the next two weeks. 😋
Go Bengals! 🐅

Feb 13th, 2022Just concluded our annual Fall seclusion into the Rangeley lakes region of Maine, mobile service up there is mostly non-existent, after several days I am posting again.
8hr decant. Nose of oak/cedar/cherry, spicy raspberry. Palate has raspberry/cedar jam, mocha dust, many years to go... Next bottles should be 2026+

This was the most like what I had heard about Turley wines. Huge and lush without being overly oaked or juicy. Very complex and ending with tons of spice notes. Sort of reminded me of some Rhone wines. Anyone seeking out Turley wine would note be disappointed.

Thick, rich, but oh so good. And yes, I know I robbed the cradle.
