Dark purple, no bricking. Decanted ~45 minutes. 67% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot. Drinking well right now. Black currant, dried strawberries, dust, and iron on the palate. Tannins mostly resolved but still chewy and well-integrated into the finish. Seems to be at peak should drink well for at least 3-5 years.

- Ruby color and aromas of blackberry. It's unbalanced and has flavours of blackberry, cherry and prune with a medium body. Round texture with a short finish - A TGIF bottle for Sandy and I. Was ok. Like many Red Mt wines, very tight, tannic; after ~1hr softened and opened. Had ok fruits and a bit of smoke. Good not great.
