  A nose of some dark fruit and spice, dark garnet on color. A medium to full bodied red, with black cherry, cassis, some chocolate and spice on finish, a good value. www.winelx.com

  2/21/2016 - Symmetry Does not like this wine:

  Lacks good fruit but is reasonably smooth, not astringent. Drinkable but overall, dissappointing for the price.

  Not strong oak aroma, deep red color, fruit over powered by acid and tannin.

  "2015" Sydney International Wine Show - stewarding notes; 10/11/2014-10/16/2014 (Blue Mountains, NSW): {screwcap, 14.3%} Bit of a rogue, this, how we ended up picking a 2011 SA red I don’t know, but there you go. Lots of herbal currants. Very cabernet; the lousy vintage takes the focus away from the region and onto the grape. Palate is very tannic, with a gritty texture; it’s medium-bodied, but after an initial burst of currant flavour everything falls away and reveals a hollow mid-palate. Dry finish is attenuated too. It’s a good try from the vintage, but as a Bordeaux it’d be one of those ‘restaurant vintages’. Drink up.

  Well isn't that tight and intense. And green, and hard edge. As Bill notes its "lean, it green." "In Calfornia that is an impracable narrative. Here? Maybe not so much.
