Probably drank this one just a little too soon, still tighter and more tannic than I would have guessed. But regardless, the deep lingering cherry, cola, and spice notes just go on and on. A very big can and emblematic of how great red mtn fruit is.

Aug 1st, 2015A little lighter than I expected, but absolutely true to JM style. The lingering bing cherry and vegetal notes are very pleasant, but somewhat overwhelmed by the heat of the wine. 2005 was a better year I think, but this is perfectly drinkable, especially with a succulent dish like prime rib.
