Densely packed with wild red fruit, tea and savory herbs, with firm tannins. The 09 was also bone dry but with heady wooded aromatics, and it seems this vintage saw extended skin contact far less American oak (70% French, 25% American. 24 months) but well seasoned. It's an ambitious, mountain grown wine with the fruit and structure to age.

2010 vintage - dense, minty, nice use of oak. Drinking well now but can easily go another 10.

Dry, racy, cool, and incredibly aromatic. there's a lot going on... Plum/fig, vanilla bean, tobacco/cedar, herbs. Finish is concise and quite dry, with fine tannins.

Needs to breath. Great with food but not smooth and easy to drink by itself.

Well crafted, excellent fruit & a nice heap of oak, without overshadowing some round, chewy berry notes. Pretty yummy.
