PnP, but improved over the next 30 minutes, so short decant is advised. An interesting blend of grenache, syrah & zin. The palate was heavy with earth, underbrush and dark red fruits, plus a dose of herbs. All was offset by sufficient acidity to balance. Should hold for another couple of years.

Got my fall mixed case from Scherrer and had included two of his 2011 "Huntsman" red blend. This is a new wine for Fred, a blend of Grenache, Syrah and Zin. The nose and the initial hit on the tongue had a somewhat herbal note but that quickly gave way to bing cherry, cranberry and rhubarb with some mouthwatering acidity. Since I've got a bit of a head cold going on, I'm saving my other bottle for a time when my gustatory and olfactory senses are firing on all cylinders.

Good for the price. Needs 15 minutes of air to improve.
