Beautiful with six or so years in bottle...even better was the recent grab at $50.

Wine candy with cinnamon stick, nutmeg, dark spice, mixed darker fruit cola, some anise to black licorice, dark earth with dry top soil framed in a bright floral bouquet.

Tart. Cranberry. A completely different wine than the 2008 vintage. Noticeably entry level.

Beambled fruit on the nose. Turns a corner on the palate and has some willamette like forest floor.
