  Average but not great. Balanced backed lacked the depth of previous vintages.

  Oak. Toasty oak. Lots of oak. Certainly some dark cherry and berry fruits are present but the woodiness of this wine dominated. Perhaps will mellow in a few years.

  Tasted from a split. Earthy and warm. Enough sediment to suggest minimal filtration. Generous, but with an herbal aspect providing cut and interest. Will be enjoyable for 5-7 more years

  This hit the spot for the < $20 tag. Lots to like for immediate consumption on a weeknight. More balance and depth than I would've expected at this price.

  Spring Bacchanal with Winemaker Ken Wright (Roti Roppongi, Tokyo, Japan): slight graphite, chocolate and red berry notes. More of the same on the palate. Juicy and spiced on finish. Nice, simple.
