Last bottle of vintage, see my tasting notes from 2019. Today, purple-red with light to moderate pigment extraction. Raspberry and black currant flavors with pomegranate-like tannin, acidity and flavor present. This wine is seed tannin-forward with length of flavor and moderate skin tannin finish. Aging wellโ€ฆ

Light and earthy, cherries, tea leaves and rain. Perfect for this rainy afternoon. Cherry rain clouds in a glass!

1650 cases made. Light to moderately extracted purple-red, very good clarity. Raspberry butter and earth notes in nose. Raspberry and cherry flavors, citric acid on finish with a touch of lactic. Mild seed bitterness backbone. Mild skin astringency across tongue. Great value

Dark cherry and earth. Needs more time to unwind, but this is a great QPR ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐ŸŽ‰
