$23. Enjoyed this bottle a lot, though the person I was drinking with thinks it was slightly cooked because we found some raisiny and dried apricot notes. They were pleasant on their own (if not really appropriate for the style), but also dissipated. We found what can only be described as "brambly" darker fruits, cherry, and some earthiness. The texture was quite smooth and mouth-filling, but light at the same time with a lovely balancing acidity. The mouth had a nice intensity and depth to it. Still the slightest tannic grip, but well-integrated as was the oak.
I'd give this an 89-90 but won't contribute an actual score since it may have been a flawed bottle.

Light ruby color with strong legs in the glass. Cherries and smokey flavors on mouth and punchy acidity on finish. Lovely wine with a meal.

Nice minerality with sour cherry fruit - bright acidity - drinking well.
