Brilliant ruby-red. Ripe red and dark berries and cherry on the deeply perfumed nose; floral and spice nuances emerge with air. Juicy and well-concentrated, offering gently sweet black raspberry, cherry and floral pastille flavors and subtle allspice and licorice accents. Dusty tannins lend shape and grip to a long, focused finish that echoes the cherry and floral notes.

This is a barrel selection, AVA-specific wine, and wraps the lightly earthy, herbal characteristics of the Eola-Amity Hills into brambly berry fruit. There's a thin streak of coffee and a slightly dusty edge to the tannins. It's textural and tasty, and it should age nicely over the next half decade or longer. -Paul Gregutt, Apr 2020
