Another Wine gathering at RJ’s; 4/4/2024-4/7/2024 (Palmetto Bluff, South Carolina): Medium expressive nose displaying super ripe dry red fruit, dry cherry, cherry liqueur, sweet spices and earth. There is pretty noticeable heat at the end. Very good concentration, slightly coiled concentrated red fruit, medium acidity and mineral, and a medium long alcoholic finish. There is not enough blue or black fruit to mask alcohol. Based on this wine, there is a good reason why we don't find too many domestic Gracianos.

This clear and deep red wine was drank after opening for an hour. It had a nose and flavours of dark cherries, some strawberries and a bit of tobacco. In each sip was also a surprising amount of pepper that actually added to the enjoyment of this wine. The tannins and acidity were quite strong but you would never know that this wine was over 16% alcohol.

MONSTER. Put it back in its cage and let it come out again in a few years. See all of the other reviews about this lush, high alcohol, dark berry beast.

Really nice surprise having never had this bottle, slightly lighter than the other wines on the night but delicious.

Lush dark blackberries in a forest with damp smoky wood. Unbelievably yummy.
