This vineyard is maturing into something special. The pie cherry fruit has a burnished softness, with highlights of plum pudding. It's broad and textured, coating the palate and continuing on through a finish dappled with notes of biscuit and pie crust. The balance is spot-on, and the acidity keeps it just fresh enough. —PAUL GREGUTT

Saturated magenta. Potent cherry, mulberry, licorice and allspice aromas are complemented by a suave potpourri flourish. Juicy and expansive in the mouth, offering concentrated red and blue fruit, cola and floral pastille flavors that show fine clarity and minerally lift. In a rich yet lively style, showing bright mineral lift on a long, seamless, floral-tinged finish. -- Josh Raynolds
