Nice nose of blackberries, wildberries, and spicy notes. Great acidity up front with moderate tannins and toasty oak. Somewhat simple, but doesn't hold the stemmy, herbal Merlot characteristics.

Not sure why I liked this bottle better. Quite a bit more flavorful after it opened up.

Rather ordinary and bland. Hard to detect any fruit.
