Good fruit opening (cherry?) and cloves and pepper. I expected it to be young and need thorough decanting, but was fine as opened, just a bit a acidity. The nose is subtle but am going to try it over the next 24 hours and see how it opens up.

The 20% merlot gives this an excellent black cherry note and takes away some of the pepper of the Malbec. Great value at $13

Medium/Full bodied Pinot, dark cherries and rosemary on the nose. Pepper and good tannins.
