I'm really getting too hasty in opening 2012 FLX reds. They're just so damn tasty now that it's hard to resist. This wine will age, though. I suspect for years. Patience, patience.

Clear, medium ruby in appearance. The nose is clean with med intensity. The palate is dry, with med(+) acidity, med fine tannins, med(+) alcohol, med(+) body, med intensity, and a med finish. Notes of sour red cherry, red plum, black cherry, black plum, violet, vanilla, cedar, and touches of earth and mineral.
This is a very good, fruit driven wine that is riper than typical for the FLX. I guess you could say that it is typical for the 2012 vintage. I expect that it will have pretty good ageability, which is nice since we have a few bottles in the cellar. It will be interesting to monitor its progress.

Smooth, well balanced, full body with good acidity. Black and some red fruit, vanilla and spice. Truly a great year for FLX reds.
