Friday, November 30, 2018 - Had this while also drinking through most of the 2016 Purlieu lineup, so it was a tough crowd. Just a disclaimer here.

This is a very nice wine. Cherries, raspberries, herbs and earthy notions on the nose. The pallet is very taut, maybe a touch linear, but also very well structured and framed in by a strong tannic backbone. Good levels of red and blue fruit, some spice and lots of savory elements. Mostly medium bodied with a solid mid pallet and 30 sec+ finish. Definitely more red fruit, not as concentrated, a bit less pure and not as plush as the Purlieu's, but those are significantly more expensive.
