Clear dark ruby. Black cherry compote(!) on the nose. Echoed on the medium palate with a terra cotta and vanilla cream undertone and medium, woody tannins that assert as the wine opens up. Medium acidity and a medium finish round it all out. Judiciously oaked and leaning austere, the "Two Brothers" exemplifies Willamette's place between California and Burgundy; fruit forward but a natural as the universal red. Drink now through 2027 with any "red wine" fare.
