87 Points

Wednesday, October 16, 2013 - This wine has been opened for three days, recorked, and stored at cellar temperature.
The color is clear, appears medium ruby at the core, fading to a pale Ruby at the rim.
The nose is clean, developing, showing medium intensity aromas of blackBerries poured over rocks, with notes of Bing cherry and a bit of green bell pepper.
The Palate shows a dry wine, medium in body and alcohol (listed at 13.8%), with medium intensity flavors of blackberry, blueberry, minerality/earthiness, a hint of vanilla, some tobacco. The tannins in this wine are light, drinking quite easily, and the acidity is medium intensity. The finish is medium (-), repeating notes of blackberry and moist soil.
This is a good quality wine, and although it is quite young, the lighter body and low-level tannins makes this simple Wine easy to drink now. It is not meant for aging, and should be consumed by 2014. Good value, simple.
