Super earthy on nose with a strong OR Pinot raspberry aroma / a wild quality / also beauj-like?

Has improved over past vintage & still at 11$. Slight grainy texture & fine tannins, maroon/red-black color. Medium to light viscosity with small red berry fruit predominant-but surprising depth, like a Beaujo Villages on steroids. Strong enough acid, & the mid palate wobbles but for this price, it’s Valencia rocks. Served slightly chilled on one of those 90 degree days, East Coast.

Super funky when you pop the cork. Almost offensively so. Mellows after a bit. Earth. Dirt. Super deep.

2012. Boba impresses with enjoyable flavors not overwhelmed by the astringent presence.

Fresh, medium-bodied, purple-black colored, hardly stingy in blackberry fruit! Easy to get to the bottom of the glass.
