Wonderful brick red moving to garnet toward the rim. Fresh, lively nose. Some characteristic funk along with hints of vegetation. Light, delicate red fruit on the nose like currant, pomegranate, cherry and strawberry with some minty accents and fresh cut flowers. Tad tart on the entry. Soft, relaxed tannin but strong acid remains. Somewhat metallic on the palate. Flavors of garrigue and dried herbs. Pulling air through reveals faint berry fruit, leaning red. Slight. Fruit and tannin are disappearing, so drink now or use for cooking.

4th Saturday Group brown bagger (Mike's & LA's): Opens with aromas of roasted herbs, dark fruit, green tobacco and red berries. Medium-bodied, nice integration; herb, red fruit and plum flavors. Finishes well. 89+ pts. Guessed Bordeaux blend.

Didn't travel well to FL and sat in heat and way past drinking age. Disappointing
