The last vintage from the Stellwagen vineyard, the grapes now going to Bedrock Wine Co. Pale ruby. Funky, sweet, and tarry with a hot end. Still closed. (JR)

Score 92/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, May 2013
Bright purple. Displays sexy dark berry liqueur, cherry-cola, vanilla, violet and tobacco aromas and a hint of allspice. Broad, fleshy and sweet, offering palate-coating black and blue fruit flavors and a strong floral quality. Aeration brings up exotic Indian spice notes that carry through the sweet, gently tannic finish. Smooth, seductive and approachable now but will age effortlessly.
