Cloudy with some fine sediment. Red fruit of mostly cherry and raspberry on a light plus bodied frame. High acidity that is fairly tart and does not alter with air, nor do the tannins, which are soft and resolved at this point. Don't think this will get any better.

Mostly CdP (Dr. M's in Ohio City): A Cal wine that is a GSM blend. The Grenache completely dominates the blend IMO. Ruby in color. The nose has cherries and raspberries. On the palate, there is some depth. Cherries. Nice easy finish. Drinking well but not sure it gets any better. I got the impression this is around $25 and if so, that is a nice solid value.

Close to peaking. This bottle was mostly raspberry, also blackberry/blueberry; underneath were hints of earth, spice and citrus. Integrated medium acid/tannins/finish. Drinking well now but worth following for another few years.

tasted much better after decanting and the 2nd/3rd nights really nice fruit taste and smell- mostly reminding me of ripe plums with just a hint of sour on the finish- but not distractingly so. I thought there was a little tiny bit of pepper the first night, but it wasn't there later.

Last bottle, still a bit of fruit left but its best days are behind it.
