Woody and smoky at first, with aromatic hints of ink, beets, cola and lavender. The palate offers less than the nose, primarily toast and black fruit. Dark coffee and moderate tannins dominate the stern finish.

The color here is rusty; its luster is fading. The nose is dry and mellow, offering talc, baking spices and dried red fruit. Flavors of orange peel and clove accent the dry, woody palate, which has a touch of sharpness to it. Drink now or wait for a new vintage.

A challenging powerhouse of a wine with a dense nose that merges funky, earthy aromas with a lavender and spice bouquet. Lean but well balanced, with cherry cola and leathery flavors. Big, fairly complex finish. Approachable now but will definitely improve.

Sweet in apricot, orange honey and vanilla flavors, and with a gooey texture, this dessert wine nonetheless is balanced with crisp acidity, and is very refreshing. The flavors are addictively good, especially after a rich meal.

Starts off with strong aromas of wintergreen and cola, then settles down to display plenty of roasted cherries and cedar-sarsaparilla notes. Seems a bit heavy, and a sharp edge of acidity doesn’t offset a slight alcoholic burn, but the wine does boast plenty of flavor

Smells Porty and caramelized, and drinks hot and dry.
