  Decanted 1/2 hr. Not much nose. First glass (of 5) was nice with red fruit (rasberry) tastes. After that, it became disjointed and inconsistent for the remainder of the bottle.

  A bit slow to open (should have done a short decant). Nose is a bit reluctant, but there’s red fruit aromatics there with some vigorous swirling. Silky texture is the wine’s best feature at this point. Tasty and savory fruit flavors.

  Outside Your Comfort Zone (San Diego Wine Co.): From the Adelaida District's Alta Colina Vyd, it's "...the only site we work with that is planted to primarily silicious soil rather than the limestone that is so prevalent in the area. Silicious soils yield wines with chewier textures and umami characteristics. Fermented 100% whole cluster in 1.5 ton open top bins and aged in neutral barrels for 14 mos."
  
  N: Slightly closed; Intriguing melding of berries, minerals, & pyrazines
  
  P: Med, poss LM, body; Nice, ALMOST swtish frt met by a PUCKERISH astringency which somewhat mitigates by the LONG, tangy, bitterswt finish, the swtness of which gains over time. NEEDS into Summer of '19, then into if not through '22. 15.0% ABV; My VG/VG+. 93 pts Jeb Dunnuck, 92 Purely Domestic Wine Report, 90+ WA, & 89 Vinous. [This vendor's $34.99 MAY be the only source outside of the winery's $55.]

  A really savory Mourvèdre, with rich raspberry jam notes well balanced by a rustic wooliness. If that textural element smoothes out over time, the wine may suffer, but I for one will be interested to monitor this one.
