Frankly, I disagree with the drinking window. I'd stretch it a few years, to probably 2014. We found a wine tonight that was a rich ruby red, with good-but-relaxing grip, and concentrated dark fruit. After going chard with Thanksgiving dinner, we went for a more muscular red with leftovers tonight and were not disappointed.

Warm caramel as it slowly sunsets; soft tannins with pepper and dark cherry. Better than expected, which is always appreciated!

Moderate oak, persistent fruit and acid. Fading, yes, but not done yet!
