Nose was a little tight out of the bottle, but by the second glass opened up pleasantly. Palate had full body to it, fruity but clean and not oily or mouthy. Had as an aperitif to pave the way for hamburgers and a Cabernet.

really heavy handed -- even if it were from the U.S. -- maybe some folks would like this but not me, big oak treatment on top of what appears to be little natural material from the grapes / terroir
