Visually we have an inky brown, blood and mud tone.
On the nose I get powerful savory, green herbs and stalks with mushroom, purple fruits. The green component component is very strong.
On the palette I found red raspberry with strong dusty and graphite components. Hints of mushroom, pepper and earth with raspberry.
I feel like it operates in the front and doesn't carry through to the end. Its lighter than I expected. Not full bodied and not very complex. Frankly, not my favorite. It needs time to breathe and more time to age before I try it again.

After breathing for a few hours, has a really cool nose of ground coffee, bell pepper and sriracha. Less distinctive and complex on the palate, but great structure and balance and lots of bright, dark berry fruit. Some of that coffee too. Went well w steak. Great wine for $15!!!

Full bodied with berry front and hint of carmenere spice. Could use a couple more years to fully mellow. Very pleasant after extended breathing.
