  Really mixed feelings about this wine. At first, light and acidic with powerful cranberry notes. After an unusually long amount of time ignoring it, the color became much darker and notes of plum started to come through. Certainly an interesting wine.

  Much better bottle than prior ones. Depth of red fruit and spice over a brightly acidic wine. I'm enjoying this with a fish stew heavy on olive, capers, and bay leaves. Nice balance between the bright olive edginess and the brightly edgy wine.

  Consistent notes with prior bottles. Light body, acidic, sharp cranberry, and one-dimensional. This bottle had a solid 30 minutes of wet dog upon opening which then gave way to...not much. Really a disappointment since this winery does a lot of amazing work. Mostly used this as expensive cooking wine.

  I'm really not a fan of this wine...as opposed to almost anything else from this winery. Light color, light body, cranberries on the palate. The nose is pretty, but that's about the only nice thing I can say. I thought this was a damaged bottle, but my note from a few years back is similar. Oh well...
