  4/8/2020 - Rich S Does not like this wine: 86 Points

  Popped and poured. Medium ruby color, throwing some sediment. Lots of jammy and cooked red fruits on the nose with cherries, raspberries, red plums, a slight touch of smoked meat and then some charred oak notes. A bit of heat evident on the nose as well. Similar flavors on the palate. Very densely fruited, almost syrupy, and a bit flabby for me with the alcohol sticking out a bit on the finish. Certainly a tasty wine that a lot of people would enjoy but not my style.

  Nice jammy raspberry and boysenberry fruit up front. Ripe core of earth and black pepper with a subtle meaty characteristic to it on the finish.

  As others have said grenache-forward. Mixed red/dark fruits, cola, a hint of bbq sauce. Big d/t the ABV but not hot or jammy with light acid/tannins adding structure. Little change from day one to two; drink now or hold.
