  Tight, when opened, but was nice and full after being decanted.

  When I have a bottle with Szechuan food I give it a little leeway. My tongue was tingling from dinner, but was there a touch of fizz in the wine? It wasn't consistent, so I think it was the meal.
  
  Cherry! Very prominent dark cherry, reminiscent of cough syrup, which for me isn't a negative. Stood up well against our dinner.

  Closure is a twin-top agglomerated cork. That is a granulated cork with solid cork disc ends. Who cares right? (had to look that up)
  
  No sediment, poured off to a decanter for a little air. Berries on the nose, touch of cedar, so I'm guessing cabernet sauvignon based.
  Color, translucent/medium ruby.
  
  Taste, medium body, easy drinking, spicy, black fruit/berries, fruit is present but wouldn't say fruit forward. So fruity but restrained. Touch of smoke(from oak?). But not noticeably oaky. Soft but enough acidity to make it food friendly. Tannins, low/little. I'm thinking $15-$20 retail. (and I know Maryhill somewhat so that may have influenced my price guess) and guessing $12 for a woot price. I like this quite a bit. Would drink now but seems it could hold a bit.
  
  Summation after reading the write up here on woot: taste of cabernet sauv, soft like a merlot and little spice from the syrah. I certainly didn't get jammy.
  
  My initial reaction is to grab 6, but since I have the luxury of having 1/2 bottle left, we'll determine that for sure halftime of the first game today ;)
  
  Hope that helps.
