Delicious and appealing, a palate-flattering wine that offers a gorgeous structure. Waves of black cherries, raspberries, cola, sweet rhubarb pie, persimmon and pomegranate flood the palate, and then a crisp gate of acidity slams down on the finish, although the spices get through and linger long. Best now for sheer exuberance.

Not an ager, but lovely and vibrant now. With crisp acidity and an elegantly sleek mouthfeel, it offers ripe flavors of cherries, raspberries, pomegranates and cola, enriched with smoky oak. Gets better as it warms in the glass.

Direct and appealing now, like a cola drink infused with cherry and raspberry essence, with the caramelized, brown butter sauce complexities from oak barrel aging. That’s pretty delicious, and the finish is dry and crisp, but this is not a wine to age.

Tough and chewy. Nonetheless there’s a wealth of rich cherry pie, red currant and cedar flavor, and the mouthfeel is pure silk. A curiosity. May develop in the bottle, but probably best before 2013.
