  A nice bottle of wine in it's peak window. 1/4 C for my lamb stew and the rest for me. No rush on these, but no reason to wait. Solid QPR.

  Blackberry, plum, some cherry and a hint of green pepper. Very good, glad I opened.

  Drank over several hours. This is the first bottle of this which I've consumed (gave one away as a gift). Aromas are very dark and black, notes of blackberry fruit and briar, tree bark, rubbing alcohol and rubber. Palate shows similar dark notes. Integrated acidity but the strength of the extract still shines through. Limited tannins remain but the flavors are still on the purple spectrum. More tart on the finish, which continues the purple trend. Lots of vibrant dark fruit, but this simply is not the fruit that I like. Take my note with a grain of salt... I generally do not like Washington wines, and I see how this has more restraint than some, but it still offers an overripe fruit character that I dislike vs. what (used to) happen in Bordeaux. In hopes this was some high end wine I dove in for this early mystery wine... I'll never touch another Garagiste Washington offer again, though. Jon mostly matches my palate in cool climates, but nearly never in hot ones.

  Blackberry on first sip, deep flavor PNP. Citrus and cherry.
  Still heavy alcohol, let sit another year or two.

  Better than the last bottle. The Best of the Garagiste Renegades. Some heat on the nose, but not so much on the palate. Sweet blackberry fruit, cherry, plum and green bell pepper.
