Rare bottle courtesy of seaoflament, pours a cool bright pink with a hint of orange in it. The nose is Chardonnay like with a touch of tart cherries. The flavor tart mostly to start, with a subtle cherry mid, followed by a perfect oak, toasted almond nutty finish. As it warms a bit, subtle coconut is present in the nose. Really enjoyable on a 100+ California evening coinciding with my 600th rating and 37th Birthday.

Aug 29, 2008 Sample at a tasting. Surprisingly nice, as I wasn’t really expected much out of this. Very buttery, oaky aroma, a touch of cherry flesh. Taste has loads of cherry up front and in the finish, but is blocked by some chemically character most of the way through. Decent acid with a nice touch of complimentary sweetness.

Aug 23, 2008 Bottle shared at Cleveland tasting on 8-23-08. Thanks!! Bottle pours a reddish color with a off white head. Has a nice tart aroma with some cherries added in. Flavor follows with some nice tart cherry, lemon, some must flavors, and finishes with a mellow tartness that I like. Overall this is nice brew. I am glad I got the chance to try it.

Aug 16, 2008 Bottle. reddish color with just a little whitish lacing. Dusty, cherry aroma. Tart, cherry flavor with backing lemon, green apple, and oak. Medium body. Tart/sour lingers with the fruitiness in balance. Acetic in background. Refreshing. Not bad.
