Tasting notes:

True to the Russian River Valley appellation this wine offers aromas of cola, black cherry, cocoa, baking spices and nutmeg. The wine is lighter on the palate than the rich set of aromas might suggest. Bursting with cherry flavors, the wine has a medium palate weight and tight, fine-grained tannins. As a young wine it will be great on the dinner table and Starscape always softens into a lovely earthy wine 5+ years out. (Updated 7.31.19 - Alan)
