Saturday, July 11, 2015 - -- popped and poured --
-- tasted non-blind over a couple days --
-- 7/9 Mourvedre, 1/9 Grenache, 1/9 Syrah --

NOSE: high-toned; red fruits --- red currant, strawberry; strawberry Twizzlers; some noticeable oak, but it's not front and center; not complex.

BODY: superfine particulate matter present; ruby-garnet color of medium to medium-deep depth; medium-full to full bodied.

TASTE: soft & lush; moderate to moderate+ oak; red fruits; hint of smokiness (probably the oak); not funky; medium+ acidity; alc. not noticeable (13.5%); doesn't really taste aged; overall, this is a very good wine, but it's not really very distinctive, and it is made in a style (soft/lush) that I don't prefer. Drink Now and over the next couple of years.

50, 5, 11, 16, 7 = 89
