Okay, but not memorable. It's definitely not drinking comparable to the price. Fruit is light and flat. There's a little harshness in the finish. Decanted an hour before drinking. Will taste the rest tomorrow night.

2011 was not kind to this Arrendell bottling - typically a rich, intense, brambly-fruited wine - this bottling was thin and lacked its usual power. First bottle of three.

Nose of cinnamon, raspberries and fresh strawberries. Similar tastes on the palate with the addition of cranberries and a slight hint of vanilla on the back end. A nicely balanced wine with a medium to long finish.
