  Maybe an off bottle. Mint/menthol nose and mint and menthonly flavors. Reminded more of an Australian cab than something from Washington..

  Better in the beginning and got more tart as it opened up. I’ll be honest, I had to look up pyrazine to understand what I was looking for…

  Although still very drinkable, this Buty has fallen from its considerable height of only a year ago, and now displays a prominent pyrazine note. Recommend drinking up.

  7/26/2021 - Ikesmith Does not like this wine: 84 Points

  Really want to like it so I can buy some 1.5L and 3L local retailer has on fire sale prices...
  
  At PnP reminds me of the '90s toasted marshmallow Merlot fad. Boozey, weak finish. Barest hint of tangy fruit hiding under all that damn diacetyl. Whiff of sulfur at finish?
  
  Buttery popcorn mostly gone day two but so is everything else except some heat and some pepper.
  
  "70-79 C Below/Average" but allowing some people like wine that tastes of margarine. 84, I guess.
