  Tasted blind. Pop and pour. Dark ruby/purple in color, moderate plus viscosity, no gas. On the nose there is a ton of fruit, lending to overripe for me, dark berries mostly. Little in the way of charm or complexity, just bruising fruit and a touch of heat. No noticable minerality or earth notes. On the palate, this stays true to the nose. Lots of ripe to overripe dark berry fruit, a little disjointed and heat from the alcohol on the back end. I didn't pick up a whole lot of varietal character in this and due to the ripeness, fruit profile, seemingly high alcohol and lack of mineral/earth notes, I thought new world, likely California Zinfandel (the color did not say malbec, neither did the nose) from 2008. Back of my mind as I made my guess was Cotes du Rhone from 2007, but I decided to stick to my guns - should have switched...

  Rich says "The aroma kinda punches you in the lungs. Its delicious and better than much of the swill we usually drink."
  Anna says "It smells like a pile of towels. I like the sourness in the back of my throat."

  No notes but well liked with our turkey. Nothing noteworthy, a good wine nonetheless.

  After ~30 min air time was well balanced and quite enjoyable.
