WSET III, part 2; 12/3/2011-12/4/2011 (Portland, ME): Clear; medium ruby color. Clean; smoke on the medium-intensity nose; developing. Medium acidity and tannin, medium-plus body and alcohol. Medium-plus intensity palate of leather, dried fruit, tobacco, and plum. Good. Drink now.

Very fruit forward with slightly unbalanced blending of a cab sauv that seems to have been picked too early by my guess. I'll seek out another vintage to try. Not bad for a great price but not the quality of many WA Merlots.

Barely average wine, cloyingly sweet, one note, with undistinguishable red fruit flavors. Decanted, didn't help.

Sans éclat ni singularité. Fruité et frais. Simple et indéfini. Peut-être se révèlerait-il à table avec une viande blanche en sauce.
