Medium dark ruby, blue fruits with light acid and tannins. Tending to fruity and stemmy tannins with a slight bitter note. Night two, blended with a sister Monestrell for a greatly improved GM blend, up 3 pts to 91. Tomorrow I with blend with some Syrah for a GSM blend.

A bit coarsely tannic and perhaps leaning toward the flat rather than lively side of things, but I like the savory and herbal notes behind the ripe plum fruit.

Popped and poured. The nose was extremely earthy and smelled like dried porcinis that are being re-constituted in lamb stock. The palate was much more on the fruit side with a bright cherry attack that then progressed back to the earth notes (dirt, stone, etc). I can see why this does so well as a glass pour in restaurants. Would purchase again.
