Black cherries, herbs and a hint of liquorice on the enjoyable nose. Nice warm fruit with some pepper and a hint of wood on the palate. A bit restrained, probably good with food.

Deep purple shading to magenta; nose of bramble; blackberry and cracked pepper to the fore, with blackcurrant backing. Opens up after an hour to reveal more nuances of earth and blood. Drying finish suggests consume with food. Might develop for another year or so. Well made, and good value.

I'd imagine this is peaking around now - darker and smokier than it was 2.5 years ago with distinct rich raisin notes.

Cal Poly Pomona Wine Dinner (Kellogg Ranch - Pomona, CA): Notes of game, garrigue, bramble, pepper and herbs. A simple, earthy wine that works better with food than on its own.

Nice floral nose, some mild red fruit. Flavors of currant and spice. Pleasant for the price and goes well with all sorts of food.
