As Freidas noted below, this is a very nice, savory wine. I would have guessed Old World Syrah Violet, meat and very floral. Medium-higher acidity, plenty of high toned fruit with a duty and long finish. I think this would be fine for quite a while longer, but pairs really well with food right now. I wish I had more. 90-91

Gorgeous inky purple color, but bouquet and palate don't quite measure up. Cassis and iodine on the nose, grape and iodine in the mouth. Quite soft tannins, overall not very expressive. Perhaps better in a couple years?

Very deep, dark purple and opaque. Medium to full bodied. Well balanced after an hour of air. This is a very nice wine, full of dark fruits and a great QPR. It was a surprise. Paired very well with cheese.

Smooth with reasonable fruit, I was pleasantly surprised as I was not familiar with the grape but similar taste to cab sav with less tannins.

A nice, bright, red-fruited, savory wine. A bit high-tones, but works great with food.
