Aromas of red cherry, blackberry and olive are balanced by spicy, sweet oak. The complexity of elements continues on the medium-bodied palate with a creamy texture and bright blueberry and cherry fruit. Barrel aging leaves gentle tannins and a hint of smokiness and cedar. A fine backbone of acidity makes this an excellent wine with food, especially flavorful dishes such as roast duck with cherry compote or braised short ribs on polenta.
Wine Enthusiast

A wonderful wine from Geyser Peak, at a fine price for so much sophistication. Shows dry, silky flavors of cherries, raspberries and cedar, with grounding notes of sweet herbs and spices. Tremendously useful at the table with beef, lamb, veal, pork and chicken dishes.

Appealing if modestly structured, with tart plum, spice and toasty herb notes. Drink now through 2013. 21,000 cases made.
