Fruit fading, but wonderful earthiness and round body

The 2006 incarnation of Cris Cherry's flagship wine. One of the last vintages of the James Berry where he used a screwcap seal...and I might be a believer. Incredibly fresh for a 8+ year-old Rhone Ranger, this wine is terrific. Intense fruit, bright aromatics, with great balance. Easily has several more years of evolution left. Fantastic!

Not quite the 2005, but really fantastic with pizza.
