A very interesting wine that still is showing primary red, blue and black fruits. Rose petal, smoke, tobacco leaf, spicy plum tart and a strange rubbery character that I get from CA Rhône blends (though there are no rhone varieties here). Flavors are up front and the wine lacks a finish. I wish ghag I drank this earlier because I am getting wiffs to racy red fruits.

Tad better...bit more fruit but sturdy tannins and Alcoholic bite still.: I am guessing the fruit will fade before tannins and alcohol subside ... Would like to try in 2022 but no more bottles

Not grabbing me.. Alcoholic whiff mixed up fruit It’s a bit of a hot mess... You won’t say it’s great ....you won’t say it’s bad.. It’s got some positives and some negatives..

Nose is fruit and something vegetable (green pepper?) Mostly mid palate on the tongue with a decent finish...raspberry... Something just a bit odd about the sum of the parts.. Nothing wrong but nothing definitely right.. At the end of the sip, it’s decent wine but you aren’t talking about it tomorrow... doesn’t want me to repurchase... Wife got duck fat grease on the nose right at the tongue..she said smells were a bit odd...
