The dominant characteristic in this flavor profile is oak. Lots of it. I’m shocked that no other taster has mentioned it. Maybe it’s my palate tonight, so I will let the remaining bottles rest for a few months before trying it again. Tina may like it, but I don’t.
Supposedly produced by Pride Vineyards. If it was, it’s not hard to see why they had too much pride to bottle this under their own label. It’s tart and unbalanced. Not enough fruit to overcome the obvious flaws. Many of the de Negoce offerings have been home runs. This is a swing and a miss.

Tasted blind with DN 275 an DN 129. Good structure, and obviously a well made wine. Tasters were going back and forth on this one and the 275 early on as the WOTN, but in the end the 275 opened up beautifully and relegated the 120 to #2. Has the stuffing to improve with age so patience is warranted.
