"The 2007 Sonoma County shows loads of up-front fruit, with pretty blackberry, black cherry, and plum flavors. These flavors broaden on the mid-palate as the wine gains in richness and adds hints of dried herbs. The finish is smooth with very little tannins. This is definitely drinkable now and while it should last fine for a few years, it is ideal for nearer term consumption." - Winery Website
