why do i have this? somehow it is among my stash of earthquake wine... Hmm, lets check it out. nose - cocoa, black pepper, cola, chocolate covered berry, intriguing mouth - still very alive, good structure, very dry mouthcoating tannins yet juicy berry on the palate with decent length, cocoa finish, i think this is pretty good stuff for earthquake wine. originally scored 87 --- after 24hrs. it has acquired that aged wine smell - like sweet plums mixed with dried leather. mouth - still juicy red fruit but now showing more of aged complexity with slightly bitter rich dark fruit on the finish. I think this wine has improved considerably in the past 24 hrs.

An open knit style, with good sense of place and spicy, peppery nose and a medium + body. ready to go right now and for several more years.

Fruit forward, full body, still a lot of tannins. Finish with a bit heat of alcohol. May be cellard even a bit longer

Full bodied, full flavor. Fruity with a touch of tart.
