Fruit starting to fade in relation to the tannin. Time to drink up.

Bay leaf, iodine, smoked meats, graphite, and savory spices surrounding a core of black fruits. Alder Springs produces grapes for many wines I love to drink.

Magnum. Held up exceptionally well. Perfumy, concentrated, yet nuanced. Smoked meat hasn't cleared on this one, and I'm glad it hasn't. Rocking wine.

Dark fruit and graphite. Tannins resolved. Probably just past peak, but drinking very well. Will pull the cork on my last bottle some time in the next year.

An opaque, black core with a vivid purple hue. Soft scents of Violets, Lavender, soy sauce, cedar and leather. Perfectly integrated flavors of blackberry, black olives, spice, licorice and coffee. Leaves one contemplative. BOOYAH!
