Stewed fruit, prune, baked plum and sweet spice aromas prevail, with a very slight oxidative note. Moderately high flavor intensity with generous amounts of ripe, baked red and black fruits, linzer tart flavors and dried herbs. Fairly crisp, with a slight tannic grip - an honest country wine. ——W.E.(10/15/2010)—— 85

Light in color and body, with modest cherry aromas and flavors. Picks up hints of tea leaves on the finish. Drink now.——J.C.(11/15/2006)—— 83
