In the french tradition, its got some barnyard hints on the nose. Subtle fruit, thin texture, ceder, wet leather, hints of green pepper. Not a bad effort at all & a reasonably good value.

Sweaty earth, funk of leather and mushroom with coffee roast and dry mocha, black bing cherry fruits at the core. Sharp acid, firm tannins, great intensity of fruit and structure.

Cherry, cedar, and spice aromas; medium body, very nice acidity and light tannins; cherry and plum flavors but not sweet; medium finish. I opened this after a tasting that was mostly syrahs and a full-bodied Rhone blend, so the first sip seemed a bit wimpy. But it matched up beautifully with the stir fry veggies and tofu; a great example of a wine being great in the right context. B+
