  Dusty florals and herbal tones complement dried cherries and mint as the 2005 Red Wine Reserve slowly awakens in the glass. This is soft and enveloping, with a gorgeous core of acidity that propels its red fruits and nuances of autumnal spice. Citrus hints add further depth. It lingers incredibly long with fine-grained tannins that pull at the senses as nuances of licorice and tart wild berries fade. The 2005 is still maturing and has a very bright future. The 2005 was sourced entirely from the Mill Creek upland vineyard.

  Lovely aromas of sweet red fruit and berries, blackcurrants and sage. Medium-to full-bodied with fine, silky tannins. Fresh and minty with hints of rosemary and paprika, too. So succulent. Delicious.
