Deep color, dark red, bright, but opaque. Dark fruits, cocoa, peppery oak on the nose. Nice round wine, soft, dark cherry, cocoa, spice, fresh dark fruits, nice acid on the mid-palate, lingering finish. Well done blend, perhaps more typical of Washington state blends than Sonoma, and I enjoyed it a lot. About $45 to $50, and found it at the Wine House in Manlius. (They did a recent tasting with this wine and sold out most of it quickly. So ask if you want them to get it for you!)
