Nice fruit and dusty earth up front. There is some sourness on the back end, which is a bit pleasant and also a bit distracting. Short to medium finish. Great value at the case price.

Light red. Intense cranberry juice notes on the nose. Sour red berry notes. Not unpleasant, but far from compelling. Still, the sour red berry structure is a bit like picking a scab - it hurts, but has a pleasurable aspect. Solid minerality and good acids.
Muted, but pretty nose of caramelized sugar and figs. Light bodied. Restrained palate of fig and cherry with a hint of green on the finish. Very fine tannins and a splash of acid. Good at $30. Great at $20.

Pretty much the exact same experience as last time, although the nose was a touch more inviting this time around. No reason not to drink now.

hazelnut, brazil nut?, sour cherry, spice, palate is silky, dark cherry, dried basil, nutmeg. For such a light wine, it has a nice fleshy midpalate.
