  Rating this a 91 now, but will probably be a 93+ in another year, or so. Black and red fruit, and faint floral notes on the nose. Big and bold fruit on palate, including black cherry, red raspberry, and perhaps even pomegranate. Big tannic finish, which was quite enjoyable. Drinking quite well now, but as stated prior, give this one a little more time to smooth out, and you should be rewarded.

  Sampled at the winery. All Mourvèdre. Smoke stony minerals, and finishes with big tannins. Dark fruit, plum pit, and black ripe cherry finish. Different. Needs years to mature.

  4th Saturday Brown Bagger (Sue's): Double blind. Peppery briary dark fruit aromas follow through on the palate. Guessed zinfandel. 86-87 pts.
