  Monday Night Blinds - Michael and Ousi (Home (Noe st)): (blind)
  M+ Ruby with some purple.
  Reductive nose, intense black fruit, slightly confected - perhaps hints of oak.
  Slight peach - underripe fruit.
  Ripe attack - possible slight RS
  Medium plus body
  high alcohol - 14.5%
  High acid - possibly acidified
  Medium tannins.
  
  Full bodied new world reds with slight reduction.
  
  Aussie Shiraz - acid is a bit high
  Malbec - oak seems too much.
  Zin - color is too dark, but the other stuff fits.
  Aussie grenache - acid too high.
  
  Final:
  Based on the ripeness and high acid, I'm going with Zin:
  
  2013 Zinfandel, Sonoma County
  
  Final: 2010 Balinard Vineyard - Bluxome Street Vineyard Pinot RRV!
  This feels way over-extracted and over-ripened for a pinot.
