A to Z Wineworks
Saturated dark purple/red color from rim to center that looks like a Bordeaux from a great vintage. The nose shows strong minerality and has complex initial aromas of blackberries, tobacco, pepper, iron, graphite, cassis and tar. With aeration aromas of cedar, Indian spices, bramble, boysenberries, blood orange, ripe plums and red currents emerge. In the mouth the attack is concentrated, structured and pure. As the wine continues to move across the palate, ripe tannins focus and bring balance to the young and generous fruit. The mid-palate is focused, strong and broad. At the end, a classic tannin/fruit balance gives the finish great clarity and astounding length. The final flavors end on a strong note of iron and minerality. Continuing the tradition of typicity, excellence and affordability demonstrated by Southern Oregon.
Wine Spectator
Smooth, generous and nicely focused to show its cherry and dark spice flavors, lingering on the well-formed finish. Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Syrah and others. Drink now.
