"Lush and inviting, this red features plum, blackberry, black cherry and warm spice aromas and flavors. There's a macerated element to the fruit, and this lingers with an aftertaste of fruitcake and spices. Drink now through 2028. 500 cases made, 170 cases imported."

"A well-delineated red centered by pure cherry elements, with supporting flavors of blackberry, violet, mineral and spices. Fluid and really kicks in on the long, fruit- and spice-filled finish. Drink now through 2028. 6,700 cases made, 2,010 cases imported.‡Bruce Sanderson"
