  Last bottle - time helped it a bit. Authentic wine but still a bit rough.

  Ok, dark, juicy, chocolate. Good for 15 on clearance, but wouldn't be happy at 25. Drink this 1st nite as it was harsh 3 days later.

  Promising nose. Dark fruit, cherry, juicy, medium+ tannins, medium acidity and a smooth, lingering finish. Balanced. This is very enjoyable.

  The usual Merlot notes all apply here (medium body, medium tannin) but I'd say medium+ to high acidity. I also medium liked it. Good everyday wine but not a lot to rally around/get excited about.

  40% new french. 78% merlot then franc, 3% malbec and petite verdot too. From some pretty heavy hitting sites. Bacchus, Dionysis and one other. Candy Mountain. Apparently that is just south of Red Mountain. Not much on the nose. Palate is great though. Lots of savory and spice.
