Slightly sour/green/unripe blueberry with table grapes and clove. Dusty blackberry palate with black fruits, schist/minerals, black licorice, and red cherries. Smooth, polished finish with round stones, herbs, plum, pomegranate, and cinnamon. Wild combination with a lot of freshness and fruit for its age.

Deep garnet color in glass with some browning. Soft promising bouquet. Nice bright ripe fruit on palate. Not too complex and perhaps a little one dimensional but very well made. Low acidity and soft tannins. Drink up!

Tasted blind. Plums, dark berries, and some smoky notes on the nose. Good balance with medium acidity and quite structured, medium tannins with more red fruit flavors on the palate. Good finish.

Home Ranch was a home run tonight! Perfectly cellared, which perhaps was the difference if bottle variance isn't the disconnect vs what some other less complimentary notes are saying here. A red fruit party with some softened structure of forest floor, light but definitely there tannins and balanced acidity Perfect with veal scallopini. Loved it.

Jammy strawberry flavors predominated upon opening. Past its prime: flavors quickly dissipated. Served with BBQ skirt steak.
