A nose of dark fruits and some spice, garnet in color. A medium to full bodied Bordeaux blend with blackberry, cherry, some pepper and spice on finish, just seemed a bit too light bodied.

P&P. Dark color, tinge of purple. Nose has dark fruit, some cassis, a hint of green and some oak. Medium to full body, sweet, mellow tannins. A little spice on the finish, maybe from the 9% Syrah. At cellar temp I did not notice an excess of alcohol.

Dark Fruit and alcohol on nose. Dark fruit (blueberry most prominent) and oak on palate. Mild to mediums tannins. Drank like it was a much higher alcohol content wine. Interesting but not a memorable wine.

Simple but ample and very ripe fruit, more shiraz-like than the 9% syrah in the blend would suggest, with rich lavender and blueberry notes. Smoky oak helps smooth the heat, which seems more fierce than the 14.1% abv on the label.

Plum earthy notice. Blueberry / blackberry darkness. Tart and slight freeness from tannins bitterness. Coffee
