Tuesday, May 6, 2008 - The pork steaks are on the Barbie, actually it’s a smoker I wont be able to give it a full smoke tonight but it should be a good match for this wine.

Color: Beautiful deep Garnet if you hold it over a light it refracts just like the gemstone all while still turning my teeth purple.

I love the nose on this wine, it keeps changing as it opens up. It started with blackberries, pepper and a little flower smell. I cant quite place it so, flowers. Now I get more perfume, kind of musky and fruity at the same time.

This wine is so good, I think I will gift myself a couple more. It starts out really good and just gets better.

I get plums and a bit of acidity and the tannins aren’t the knock you on your ass stuff. It’s a smooth mouthfeel with just the right finish. Kinda like holding OJ in your mouth but better. Acidity, fruit, and a slight bitterness yet, very smooth. You know the flavor that’s left after you eat the Amano chocolate? This is kinda like that. This is a very drinkable wine with or without food.

I gave a glass to my son but, unfortunately he has a very bad head cold and cant enjoy this wine like it needs to be. Poor thing all he gets is the finish, which is very nice but he’s missing the rest.

If you like a big fruit forward wine then you will Love this.
