med light body . 14% Alcohol heavy tannin on first opening. Tasted over a few days fruit held up and tannins mellowed leading me to recommend leaving it in the cellar for several years. Notes over the course of lasting: Medium ruby color Nose- New oak, spearmint, “red jolly rancher”, cherry, violet, burnt marshmallow Palate- red fruit, cocoa, spice, hints of meat( in a good way) very tannic on finish Over all I think this will be in the low 90’s with age but currently it is too young in it’s current form I’d give ithigh 80’s

Very tight upon opening; almost completely closed down. 2nd day was much better with big flavors of old vines and some notes of possibly Cinsault or something very floral and herbaceous, along with blueberry and boysenberry. Must decant this wine and drink within the next 4 to 5 years.

This was a fantastic value play on a list that had some overprice gems. Not over oaked and paired with most items on the table.
A real crowd pleaser.

Has that sense of rich, mineral driven, dark Temprnaillo fruit. Way more tannic than I would have though. Intense. and driven.
