Saturday, December 15, 2007 - Dark purple. To my nose and palate, a ringer for a northern rhone syrah-based red from a good vintage. The nose is high-toned, with crunchy red fruits; spice, hints of something musky. I can understand where Tanzer finds the "sangria" aromas, although to me that description is a bit more exotic than the actual wine. Sweet bite with firm acidity and tannic structure in a style I could easily mistake for a high-end cote rotie. Quite a success -- visit this baby at age 10 or 12...
