Medium toward full-bodied, no tannins to speak of. Moderately tasty, nothing complex; good acidity, and, thankfully, missing the r/s I was dreading. A nice $30-$40 red that's good on its own or with food. The heavy bottle needs to go; in its place, some tannins/structure. 14,9% abv (resolved).
Audozed 2 hours, served non-blind over 2 nights.

This is good mountain fruit. I expected to rate this one higher quite frankly. Grant says these are made to drink now. Mountain fruit tends to fight that trend a bit. So there is a little bit of a struggle going on with this wine. I won't drink another bottle of this until much later. At least a couple of years. It's not ready or it never will be. I just can't tell yet.
