This dark wine - opaque, in fact - has a powerful nose. It packs a perfumed aroma package consisting of dark fruit - like blackberries - and only a limited supply of the earthiness which I often find in a Paso Robles Cab. There is a savory streak, to be sure, and it throws leather, tar and a pine forest into the nose. The chalky aspect of the Paso dirt comes through on the palate, which is heavily influenced by the earth and the two years spent in barrels.

Dark ruby. A powerhouse meritage. A silky smooth wine. Nose profile is representative of Bordeaux grapes that continues to evolve when opened in the glass.

"Purple drank." Would have guessed Syrah, but it's a Bordeaux blend. Whatever, I still enjoyed it in a guilty pleasure sort of way, but it's pretty over the top.
