•Shop/wine critic/winery review (from winemag.com) 90 points, "Fruit and barrel aromas intermingle, with notes of vanilla, coconut, wood spice, clove and red berries. The red fruit flavors are fresh and focused, with lightly grainy tannins providing the frame."

•My review: This wine was very very jammy. It did not have a lot of body, and sort of fell out from the bottom. It is the most expensive wine I have tasted this semester, and not my favorite. It had a mild complexity, with a good amount of flavor profile without being very interesting. It is from the Columbia Valley, which I just had a lesson on. That was about the only intersting thing about this tasting.
