  September 6, 2017 - 2013 Mari Vineyards Bulldog Red ( Blaufrankish 60% Zweigelt 30% Lagrein 10% )
  
  From Coravin into Riedel Cabernet Sauvignon. Slightly darker and more purple than your average Pinot Noir. Nose is complex and chordal: searching cinnamon, cherry, blueberry, and red raspberry, followed on by sweet raspberry with honey overtone underlain by savory plum. The Le Taster reveals in addition smoke and uncured bacon fat with a resinous-earthy note. Tart entry with fullish but ripe tannins, fed by energetic-mineralic sesquiterpene-containing citrus midpalate. At this time the finish is simple and smoky, but with plenty of mid-length and room to grow; as a matter of fact, a juicy tart cherry fillip is entering into the finish. Nice prospects and even some current pleasure; splash-decanting or early opening recommended for now. Drink 2018-2026. 89-92
