Quite an interesting wine: hints of sweet fruit and vegetal notes, spices...caramel. Some citrus notes as well...orange peel. Ripe fruit flavours, dry but soft tannins. Rather easy drinking wine with a long warm finish. Expected more fruit extraction...not a great vintage? Still enjoyable...ready to drink.

Light, bright, berries. A bit sharp & citrus. Would be fine if it were a white wine.
Sort of reminds me of the beer Hoegaarden: light and flowery.
This is the third variation of The Blend that I've tried and my least favourite. Recommend people check the blend each time, the whole point is that the constituents change.
Can't complain, the taste is as described on the label.

Retailer tasting (@ HF): Red and black forest fruits, some herbs and spices, good acidity and tannin with a pleasant bite. Fairly full bodied. 88 - 89
