Wine Profile

Tasting Notes The 2008 Deep Sea Red shows incredibly dark purple hues reminiscent of pomegranate. The nose jumps at you with intense notes of dark red fruits including blackberry, plum, fresh bread, red meats, followed with hints of rose petal, thyme/oregano and lavender. The entry shows both its very nice acidity and youthful yet soft, sweet tannins. This wine unfolds into jam and cherry cola, supplemented with very nice oak integration.

"... fresh and crisp on the nose with a nice mulberry/wild black berry/ black currant jamminess that’s rich but not really sweet with very well-integrated notes of tobacco, bitter chocolate and grilled beef lurking under the fruit. Soft on entry then actually fairly angular with big, slightly rough tannins and plenty of integrated acidity supporting the earthy, bitter cocoa and violet-toned spice notes that help frame the bitter black cherry fruit, and a touch of prune on the back end. There’s a nice vein of espresso on the finish, which could be a bit longer but ends with nice, subtle layering. A pretty big wine, with a nice combination of fruit and savory, and a nicely managed oak treatment. 89pts"
