This morning, I woke up
Feeling brand new; I jumped up
Feeling my highs, and my lows
In my soul, and my goals

Finally smelling dill on a wine. Toasted coconut chips, dill, vanilla, tart cherry, baked plum, tobacco, dried thyme and sage, wet forest floor, black peppercorn, leather, and hints of dried rose petals.

Needed time to open up but what a peppery smooth joy after. Pared with flank steak.

Rich, med body & tannins but also a bit of acid. Dark fruits and sundried tomato. Nice Tempranillo.

Drinking really nice right now. Dark cherry, black raspberry. Very easy and nice tannin structure. Chocolate and leather as well.

Solid. Old world, more sweetness than earth. Very mellow tannins. I would almost swear I was drinking a good Pinot noir -- then I remembered I hate Pinot noir
