Shimmering ruby. Ripe cherry and dark berries, pungent flowers, mocha and a hint of smoky minerals on the perfumed nose. Juicy and expansive on the palate, offering bitter cherry and black raspberry flavors supported by an undercurrent of zesty acidity. Picks up licorice and cola notes with air and finishes long, spicy and smooth, with velvety tannins coming in late. 19% whole clusters and 20% new French oak. -- Josh Raynolds

Drawn from mostly Eola–Amity Hills vineyards, including Larry Stone’s estate, this is youthful and brisk, with a light red-cherry scent lined by oak. The plum flavors have an earthiness that brings the wine to a darker hue, emphasized by weighty and mineral tannins and a barrel element that will need time to tuck into the wine.
