Comes out ripe and pruney, with smoke and chocolate. Root beer, beetroot, tomato leaf notes make for a distinctly herbal style, spicy and pungent, with good length.

This is a sturdy, tannic wine, with a pleasing softness upon entry, but that turns leafy and tannic. The fruit is austere and the dominant flavors are herb and leaf. Tannins are hard and taste of earth and rock. The label features a picture of a big-eared dog.

Pungent with aromas of resin, tomato leaf and sour cherry, this thin, acidic wine is fairly typical of Oregon fruit. It does not seem to have the ripeness to carry the tannins, and the lingering impression is tart and chalky, like a sour cherry candy.

This is a very light, generic, almost watery white wine. There is absolutely nothing wrong with it, but it is so ephemeral as to be ghostlike.
