A nose of some dark fruit and spice, dark garnet in color. A medium to full bodied red, with black cherry, plum some spice on finish, a good value. www.winelx.com

Popped, splash decanted for an hour, drank over 2 nights. Cherry and raspberry fruit on the nose. Disjointed on the palate; there's a tart, pink grapefruit note on the finish that's disconcerting. Interesting, not terrible, just not very good.

Tasting note for the '12 applies to this '13 as well: Initially on the nose there's some earthiness and a bit of Christmas spices (clove?). On the palate this is all about the dark fruits, plum, raisin, dried fig and dried prune. The tannins are somewhat grainy but not over powering. The finish is medium long with the decent acidity lingering for a while. For this price we're going to stock up!
Let sit for a couple days and it is still humming along just with a slightly softer tone.

An easy wine without a lot of enhancements. Like a French wine. Nice not sweet.
