Thick and rustic but extremely pleasant. Lots of fruit with hints of forest floor.

Tasted blind, and thought it was much younger than 2005. It was somehow rustic with a new world finesse. Wet earth, dark berries, great tannins. And for $16? Yes please!

Stronger for a merlot. A little more like a cab but with more red fruit flavors.
