  January 18, 2009 - Color: Very dark purple with garnet/magenta edges. Healthy and clear deep color concentration.
  
  Nose: Nice complexity....A vegetal soy-sauce fig meets string bean with lots of pure blackberry. The nose showed flavors of cocoa and raspberries earlier.
  
  Palate: Smooth small grain tannins of medium-heavy weight. Well balanced, this wine shows upfront flavors of blackberries, light-clean leather, string bean with subtle vanilla cream. Mid-palate shows some dark raspberries, blackberries, some cherries with some gentle background smoke joining in on the finish. A very good wine that shows additional nuances with more air. A great find for under $20.
