Review:
Aromas of red cherry, raspberry, strawberry, vanilla and baking spices with a bit o cedar, sandalwood and forest floor. Flavors include cranberry, strawberry, spice box and forest floor. The long, smooth finish expresses silky tannins and great acidity.
2008 Vintage Tasting Notes
An enticing scent starts your experience - with black cherry, red raspberry, sandalwood, lavender, chocolate, kirsch, and sweet tobacco in scent and flavors. The winery suggests having this wine with salmon, burgers, roast game hen, or rabbit confit.
2007 Vintage Tasting Notes
Light ruby color. Rather intense scents of cherries, herbs and cream soda. A lighter-weighted black cherry-driven wine with a complimentary hint of vanillin and spice that finishes with a touch of grapefruit. A clean and very decent wine for drinking now. - Pinotfile
Aromas of blackberries, plums, spice, and forest floor - flavors of cherry, raspberry, sweet-maple, cinnamon, cardamom, and sandalwood spice.
