Deep, intense red/purple, opaque, viscous, on the nose it's dark fruit immediately, then red to follow. Tasting gived great red fruit, dark cherries, currants, with dusty, beautiful tannins. It's mouthwatering, mid-weight for a Cab, and then there's spice and pepper. Tasted June 2010 at The Wine House in Manlius.
John Ramsey is the owner, and he gave a wine talk and tasting at The Wine House recently. His Zinfandels are terrific as well, and it's pretty amazing that he'd come and give a talk locally.
