Dusty wet dog nose, with some black fruit. Light tannins and acid, almost to the point of flabbiness. Medium body, very smoother quaffer. Light mint. Pleasant. $10
Burnt underbrush and red fruit on the meaty nose. Very light tannins and acid - flabby but juicy. Simple plummy black fruit. A touch of pencil lead. $13

Floral mineral nose. Oddly flabby. Slightly rich, very flavorful. Lighty soapy sensation on the mid-palate and finish. Very distinctive. $10
