  A nice wine and fair QPR. Sweet fruit (plum, blueberry) along with some woody and savory hints and rough acidity.

  Disappointing; I like AVV wines and expected more. On opening, the nose was largely alcohol, very little fruit. In the mouth I got more ‘heat’, and what I would call general grocery-store wine product. With lots of oak. On the second day, (after some air on the first day) nothing changed. Finally on the third day, the wine began to taste like Syrah, some dark fruit, cherry, plum, spice, and a hint of blueberry but the no balance as the tannins had mostly “given up”.
