Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
The winery says this was the longest hangtime vintage in their history. The fruit is extraordinarily ripe in blackberries and cherries, with a rich coating of smoky oak, but retains a nice tannin-acid balance. Scads of Asian spices make the finish exotic. Drink now.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
You’ll find luscious flavors of sour red cherries, anise, pecan pie, cola and smoke in this dry wine. But it’s a little too soft, structurally, which will limit development. Drink now.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Simple and too oaky, with peach, pineapple, vanilla cream and buttered toast flavors. The toast overwhelms everything.
