  MNB: OZ, ZA, NZ (Home (Noe st)): (blind)
  Medium ruby.
  Strong green tea notes (possibly stem inclusion). Sweet faded fruit. Toasted rice. Peach, underripe nectarine, underripe red cherry. Slight vanilla toast - 15% new French oak.
  Ripe attack - slight RS (2-3g), medium body, 14% alcohol (actually 13.5%), elevated acid, slight vanilla on the palate, medium tannins - papery.
  
  Light but high in alcohol, with elevated acid and slight oak.
  
  Australian Grenache
  Australian Pinot
  CA Pinot
  
  Final call: Sonoma Pinot 2015 $30
  Actually Trivento Malbec Reserve 2015 Mendoza
  30% French oak for 6 months.
  
  Atypically light Malbec! Interesting.

  Needs about thirty minutes aeration. No 95 pointer yet! Has dusty aromas of shoe polish, black raspberries, plums, cedar, cassis and gravel hints Its medium bodied spherical and fruity yet understated palate has got great delineation. Ends medium long with some protruding and gripping tannin and typical acidity. Needs food.

  Nice eblue and black fruit profile with some chocolate and spice notes. Warming alcohol, but fairly well balanced. Nice finish.
