Falls flat almost from the start. Some fruit left but then has some discombobulated funky notes and overall much acid or tannin there to give structure. I expected this to be dead and it is, but tasting and documenting before dumping.

Dark garnet colored, medium bodied, a cacophony of flavors that defies description, dark cherry, plum and red fruits with moderate tannins and ample acidity. This is a dinner table wine priced for every day drinking, what we might call a pizza wine. It was inadequate for our grilled steak, lacking complexity despite its plethora of varietals.
Nose: sort of spicy, but generic 'red wine' aroma pervades Palate: tastes a bit like zin (plum and spice) with soy and shale tendencies. Kind of flattened, the palate's fruit is headed over the hill, I think. tannin is smooth, so that's a plus. Med acid, Just ok in flavor, though.

Solid red wine. Opened in honor of the Seahawks and the Super Bowl.
