Cranberry and dark cherry aroma plus asian herbs. Tannin is smooth, body is elegant and firm. Nice pinot from Oregon. — 11 years ago
From magnum. Not sure I could invent a better Thanksgiving wine. Bing cherry and cranberry are offset by just enough tannins. Round and resilient. Just a hint of orange on the long finish. Outstanding. — 11 years ago
So fun to drink. Cranberry and mineral bomb. — 10 years ago
Bold for Beaujolais. Somewhat grippy tannins balanced by plum, cranberry flavors and a stony minerality. Medium acid keeps it lively. A very pleasant drink. — 11 years ago
Super tight. Fairly rugged tannins. Probably needs a year in the bottle. Good notes of herbs and cranberry. Can be drunk now and definitely enjoyed, but give it an hour to open up a bit. — 11 years ago
5 days later: fresh cranberry, leather, pine needles. Love Heredia and their late releases. — 12 years ago
2004 vintage aging glacially. Full youthful nose of cranberry, sour cherry, grapefruit zest and spice. Medium weight sweet cherry fruit with bright juicy acidity. Structure working well with still plush fruit. Tangy, long finish. This tastes so freaking young - could be a 3-4 year old wine. — 11 years ago
Clear, day bright, ruby red with garnet to orange rim variation, medium concentration, no evidence of gas or sediment, medium viscosity. The nose is elegant, delicate to moderate intensity, slightly vinous. Underripe red cherries, fermenting strawberries and cranberry. Dried red roses, baking spice and asphalt. Dusty smells, slight oak. Bone dry, medium body, red and black cherry notes, underripe raspberries and cranberries, tarry with forest floor, spicy cedary oak. Highly tannic, med + alcohol, med + acid, medium finish with med+ complexity. I like this bottle a bit more than the 09 vintage. It has the tannins i look for in Barolo. This is a great wine to use as a benchmark for Barolo. — 11 years ago
Strawberry and cranberry fruit with soft and elegant structure. Lovely and reserved. — 12 years ago
