I get this score is a little lower than average. I did a PnP and so haven't had much air to the wine. Loads of blueberry jam on the nose, and something savory - tomato leaf? Olives? Tobacco? Can't quite figure that out, but palate follows - super silky, grainy blueberry and black raspberry notes, finish is average. Really good - not sure it'll transcend much beyond that.

Quite good from a PnP - blue fruit and black fruit mostly, but with air getting some menthol and sugar cookie notes. Silky smooth like you'd expect, decent finish. Only surprise is how good it was from the pop. Great value at $28 from WTSO.

It's fine, for $20ish it's a decent value. A touch oak, mineral, creamy with tree fruit notes, decent finish. Not really memorable, however.
