Opaque magenta in color with crimson edges. Nose of dark fruit, pyrazine and a hint of gorgonzola at the end. Its also smells a bit "hot" with alcohol perceptible... On the palate, the wine is nicely in balance expressing kirsh, dark plums and earth. Creamy tannins are perceived on the gums and cheeks, leading into a medium length finish in which the tannins get a bit grainy.

Juicy red gushing plump fruits, lemon squirt of acidity to cut thru fatty-garlicky foods, got the cinnamon too on its own. Wild ride, would never think Brdx with this, very forward new world in style, perhaps Wash state blend. Good for what it is.

The oak really fought our food so tough to call this bottle as clearly. Still a quality wine, just not to enjoyment level of previous sample.
