Thursday, July 31, 2008 - WS misses again. Very dark purple in glass with loads of sediment. Nose smothered in alcohol but does give up dark blueberry and blackberry fruit with pepper and licorice. Medium to full bodied with nice density of "new world' fruit and well balanced acidity. Tannins are a touch green and firm, but add nice structure. Blackberry, pepper, licorice on the palate with a somewhat short and thin finish. The wine just seems to kind of fall apart at the midpalate. Although, a nice effort at this price point. I think this wine is probably better served with food due to the nice acidity it offers. B-.
