Better than the 2010. Integrated floral, berry notes. Sweet tannins.

Plum, sweet toast, earth/dried herbs, coffee grounds, vanilla, black cherry licorice and olive tapenade on the nose. Oak spice, vanilla, espresso, med + tannin, cedar, black cherry and toast on the palate. Young, yes I know, but figured what the hay, let's have it with a rib-eye :)

Meh. Awkward, bitter, harsh with modest cherry notes and distinctly reduced elements.

Hutton Farm Grenache Matro. Very soft and well integrated, mataro is there for structure but not earthiness.

Not harsh, nor bitter... A little tart on the cherry notes, but not to diminish the wine. Red plums and slightly under ripe cherries. Tannins are easy and silky. Very drinkable.
