Saturday, June 13, 2009 - I was expecting Shiraz, but was pleasantly surprised at the character of this wine's lack of Cali-typicity. The nose was strikingly Rhone, though less peppery and no bacon fat.
Color: Dark red, garnet edges
Nose: Meaty, White Pepper, Underbrush, Blackberry
Palate: Blackberry an black cherry, licorice, some-what subtle mocha-choco-oak
Nice, wine!
