Kirsch and espresso flavors are ripe and rich in this modern red. Licorice, sanguine and mint notes add interest. Edgy acidity keeps the thick texture lively. Drink now through 2013. 5,000 cases imported.

This plush red is rich with ripe berry and cherry fruit, accented by leafy and minty notes. Juicy acidity keeps it lively, and there's just enough tannins for grip. Drink now through 2011. 10,000 cases made.

Full, fruity, but less than Shiraz. A few tannins, but fine with food. Excellent finish

Color: Very light burgundy

Nose: Green and vegetal at first, but quickly blows off after decanting. Then some very Pinot-style tart cherry and cranberry with some underlying pomegranate. Also has some big black pepper, rosemary and spice.

Palate: Very similar in all categories to a high-acid, Old World Pinot, this has a very spicy and peppery palate with the bright red fruit from the nose. The rosemary comes back in at the finish, as well as some of the vegetal notes, finishing with some slight oak and a little hot. Good, though.
