Medium purple. Attractive aromas of blueberry, boysenberry and fresh sourdough bread, after some green olive reduction blew off, that is. Deep and penetrating flavors. Ripe, extracted, and could easily have flown over the top but stayed inbounds. Long finish full of sweet ripe fruit.

Decanted and several hours of air successfully dispelled reductive aromas.
Deep ruby. Powerful, almost brutishly so, but curiously alluring at the same time. Intense tar, smoke and cherry compote aromas and flavors assault the senses.
The fruit is ripe, the acidity is piercing and the alcohol has a bite; yet the wine is a masterful demonstration of how balance and harmony can be wrested from the grips of unbridled forces. Sure to be the bane of the AFWE (anti-flavor wine elite) but it’s right up my alley.

This was a solid wine that was well liked by most of the 14 people at the party. Full body spice and pepper. For the $30 paid this had a good QPR.
