I may sound like a groupie, but this was an amazing bottle of wine. Full of fruit, super smooth and ready to drink now.
The wine looks purple colored. The legs are medium. There is moderate sediment in the bottle. It smells like blackberry, grapefruit. The body is medium/full. The wine has smooth texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has low acidity.

- Purple color and aromas of hydrogen sulfide and strawberry jam. It's lacking fruit and has flavours of strawberry with a light/medium body. Narrow texture with a short finish - Tasted at the winery and was very impressed. Bought a bottle,cellared for a yr. Opened and let sit for an hr. Just a little uneventful. Tried the rest of the bottle the next day, little better but nothing special.

- Ruby color with slow forming legs and aromas of kerosene, artificial grape and sherry. It's overly acidic and has flavours of kerosene, hay/straw and sherry with a light body. Coarse texture with a short finish - Smelled like petroleum, with a brownish color. Very, very tart. Let sit two hours with no change. Bought 3 bottles from the vineyard. Too bad
