Slightly cloudy dark crimson red. Strawberry, blueberry, spice and leather nose. Medium bodied, very jammy boysenberries and plums, grainy tannins, weak acid, some pepper and heat, and a short to medium dry finish. Too grape juice like for me.

This wine seemed disjointed, some black fruits and it did have a level of richness, but very harsh finish. Maybe a little more bottle age will bring it together.

Still a lot of dark fruits and a silky finish. No harshness at all on the finish. Integrated fairly nicely at this point. Good value wine.

This bottle opened just perfect--and it’s still new. I can’t wait for it to mature--it’s a real winner. (90+++)
