  Composite cork was saturated 4mm. Initial aroma was like standing in a field of sweet onions and was very pleasant. This is a light / medium-light bodied wine with a lighter dusting of tannins that linger. Not a lot of fruit. When allowed to aerate on the tongue, I sense some sweet corn. Faint hit of vanilla. Occassionally some pepper or spice on the after taste. Well structured. Opens with breathing. Nothing wrong with this wine, except a little light and the fruit is tight. 70% Merlot/15% Cabernet Sauvingon/15% Cab Franc.

  Port4olio Tasting (O Hotel, LA): Dense fruit on the nose though not giving up much expression. Lean feeling giving up some dark berry flavors. I'm guessing this was on the low oak end of the spectrum by the lean, clean character of the palate. Probably could use a little bit more bottle time. Nice.
