-- tasted non-blind over ~ 3 hours --

NOSE: red/purple berries --- ripe; smells simultaneously sweet and acidic; hint of cola spice.

BODY: violet-garnet color of medium depth; medium-light bodied.

TASTE: lighter mouthfeel than I was expecting, given its depth of color and ripe fruit aromas; open, playful, ripe, but not lush or overblown; casual; well-balanced; red-fruited; hints of oak and leather; quite nice; gut impression score: 89 – 91. Pork chop with herbs was a very good pairing with this wine, and I do think the wine showed better with the food than it did without.
