Very dark garnet red. Sweet black fruit accented by fennel, chocolate, mint, and earth. Thick but also deep, nicely DRY and full flavored. A slight saltiness too. This loses flavor in the finish but remains dry and bright. About as good as you can get with such young vines, in my opinion.

disappointing - we'll see how it is on day 2. Second day, not any better - insipid is the word that comes to mind. I'll lay my second bottle down for a while and see if it develops. I don't have high hopes. I hope the Shiraz is better. Day 3 - just took a sip, it is getting better. There has been no decanting for this wine. It has just been sitting in the bottle since I opened it. It is still pretty harsh at the end but the fruit is starting to come together. I still have half a bottle left - we'll see if it makes it to day 4.
