Tastefully hedonistic. An array of red fruits (cranberry, raspberry, sour cherry), minty herbs, baking spices - but all classy, not extravagant. Light to medium bodied, with just a bit of earthy tannin, overall silky and well-proportioned. A good village-level wine.

2011 is a good wine. Don't write it off the vintage. Reminiscent of Willamette Valley.

Pretty, balanced, medium bodied wine... Fresh, crushed pink flowers, bright cherry, hint of spicy herbs and medium/medium + acidity. Great with the turkey fare. :)

Restrained bright red fruit, plush mouthfeel and still loads of baking spice.
