  Beautiful color
  Sweaty horse and leather with black currant in the nose. Also some mint.
  Perfect maturity right now with light tobacco and leather married well with dark berries. Stringent but very smooth tannins make the wine very structured and balance the fruitiness perfectly.

  Monthly Men's Wine Dinner (Purple Cafe, Bellevue, WA): Decanted and served. Nice herbs on the nose and in the finish. Medium body. This is a Merlot-based wine, which is not my favorite but there was none of the killer bitterness on the finish that Merlot often has for me. My #5 of 5 and the group's #4.

  An excellent value at <$16, this wine was good-to-go with minimal air, pleasantly exceeding my expectations. Merlot in the lead position (69%), but evidence of Cabernet Sauvignon (21%) also present. 5% each Petit Verdot and Cab Franc. The blend worked well.
  
  The listed alcohol was a quite high at 15.5%, but it didn't taste/feel like that at all, as it was well-balanced and not at all distracting. Delicious, well-made, and ready-to-drink now. 90-91.
