  My last bottle of this wine. Has a little fizz on the palate. Bright red fruits and med+ acidity make this wine bright and crisp...a bit of a surprise for some folks. But nice nonetheless. Scored 86.
  24 hours later...aromas of bright red cherry mixed with deep plum and pomegranate, slathered over dirt and rocks. The palate shows a med bodied wine, with a resinous quality or red fruit and a sneaky spiciness. Wet soil notes and mineralogy are certainly present, as well as a mushroomy quality that is the only slight negative. Tannins are light, acidity is med+, making this a lively and fresh tasting wine. The finish is med-, but very nice wine overall. Very good quality, I would drink these up by the end of 2015 for sure...why wait, they are deliciously quaffable now. Scored 88.

  Endorse drrobvino's review, and award a slightly higher score (89-90) given that we enjoy this style of wine.

  Med- ruby in color.
  Nose is crisp red and crunchy fruit, with wet gravel and a hint of spice.
  Palate shows bright red raspberry, tart cherry, red currant, and menthol along with wet soil notes. Nice med+ acidity, super food-friendly, but you have to be ready for the acid and the try red fruit...this is a wine not for everybody. med finish with red crisp fruits and spice.
  Drink now through 2014, maybe 2015. Delicious and quaffable.

  Nice underripe strawberry on the nose which is complemented by a steely granite structure. Starts to fade on the third day but is still interesting

  See previous TN. Wife did not like this wine, too earthy, barnyardy, mad "natural" for her. It is a head scratcher, but the soil-driven and barnyard notes to add to the complexity, and the acidity is med(+), making this wine food friendly and pretty tasty in my book. Easy drinking, supple med tannins, drink now through 2014 or so.
