Brought to Rich's house for dinner. Was not very impressive although it was better then the previous tasters indicated. The wine was ruby red, with blackberry and spice in the nose. The finish was a little abrupt. Overall disappointing.

Sample bottle. Ruby/brick color. Clean, simple nose of vanilla spice, blackberry, and a little violet. Easy on the palate upon entry, but turns astringent on the cheeks. Finish is persistent, but in a rough and tumbly sort of way. Where's the syrah? 50+4+10+13+3=80

The nose is very simple and shows vanilla and blackberry. The palate is absolutely void of structure. It has a lush mouthfeel but that is all the positive I can say. We poured this down the drain and opened a different wine.

On its way out. Stewed fruit, little tartness and acidic. Dry tangy finish.
