Dark ruby color. Nose of rose petals, plum, and raspberry, and citrus notes. Palate is dominated by red fruit flavors and shows a little orange zest. Finish has very nice length. Very good wine without a doubt, but this may be a little too fruit driven for my taste. I am missing the earth and autumnal flavors I am used to in Stephen's wines. This seems almost a little too clean and maybe even a little candied. Those that like laser-focused fruit will love this wine. For me, it's not quite up to par with Stephen's other wines, especially from the 2002 and 2003 vintages.
