Chokecherry

Château Marquis d'Alesme

Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend 2010

Definite taste of chokecherry (you likely have to be from the MT West to know what this is like) with smokey smooth undertones. — 8 years ago

Alberto Marsetti

Grumello Valtellina Superiore Nebbiolo

2008. Dried roses, chokecherry liquor scents, and I could swear I smell a glacier. I haven't had a Valtellina Nebbiolo this good since the early 80s. Absolute Alpine Nebbiolo perfection. F--- modern Barolo. — 9 years ago

Viña Cubillo Crianza Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2006

Still bold fruit with strong tannin. Color still bright chokecherry. Lengthy plum finish. Would be excellent with robust foods. We just sipped on its own. — 9 years ago

Rainoldi

Grumello Valtellina Superiore Nebbiolo Blend 2011

Traditionally-styled. Very light color. Medium intensity nose of stony gravel, chokecherry and underbrush. Nice flavor intensity but a soft, light mouthfeel. Lingering finish. Was very nice and cleansing with a rich, tomatoey pasta sauce. Was a gift from my brother--thanks Ang.
UPDATE: Night 2 it showed much more intense fruit and flavor intensity.
