"Aromas of crushed cherry, spiced rose petal, a hint of toasted vanilla and savory notes. The delicate mouth shows Italian plum with licorice and a velvety texture finishing bright with fine tannins."

"Notes of bramble and earth interplay with dark cherry, raspberry, and barrel spice. The brightyet-soft palate is driven by cherry candy, apricot, cola, and hints of black licorice."

"We had many questions before the 2011 harvest, but in barrel, these wines have been a pleasure. Delicious, well-structured, well-balanced. On the nose and on the palate, it is very much a classic expression of our Dundee Hills property, though with perhaps a touch more black cherry and black fruits than usual. As with 2010, the acidity is bright, and overall there is nice structure and very good length. I have a feeling this wine will age exceptionally well, easily more than 10 years."
