  Bought off the wine list for $35 at a local cozy garden restaurant, though they weren't serving in the garden tonight at the end of January. Best US Searcher Pro is $17 so reasonable restaurant markup by local standards. Darker purple; plum and black cherry that follow on the palate, good mouthfeel but flabby, overall simple. Tasty but not delicious; reminded me of an entry-level Salice Salentino. We enjoy the restaurant but are unlikely to order this again. My evaluation: For me, scores on a "100-point scale" are misleading. I use a 4-category scale (perhaps with +/-)--not including flawed--which runs outstanding/notable/drinkable/poor. This is notable- when considering quality, age, and (restaurant) price.

  Nice red fruits, mostly cherry. Soft drying tannins, full mouthfeel and long finish. Very good!

  Sweet tobacco leaves, marzipan, saddle leather, and raspberries. Wonderful acidity, cherries and raspberries with present tannins. Lit fire. Paired nicely with goat cheese ravioli.
