  Dark cherry red with slight fading at the rim. Bright berry aromas. Bit astringent on the palate, blackberry, cherry. Some heat (16% ABV). Fine tannins, sharp acidity, bit out of balance. Finishes moderately long and sharp. Much poorer showing than my last bottle. Probably better a few years ago.

  Dark red with slight translucence at the rim. Dark berry aromas. Smooth and deeply flavored on the palate. Blackberry, blueberry, anise, spice. Becomes brighter with air. Fine, intense tannins. could use 2 to 3 years to soften. Bright acidity, good balance. Finishes long, long, intense with blackberry fruit. Lovely wine but needs 2 to 3 years to develop. Drink next 10 years. Will the alcohol (16.1% ABV) become more prominent? Hard to tell. 35% Zinfandel; 26% Mourvedre; 19% Tempranillo; 9% Petite Sirah; 11% Syrah. 93 points with a possible upside.
