Mendocino, North Coast, California, USA
Lots of wood on the nose - more cedar than oak. Picking up dried, unripe blackberries and a bit of crushed rock. Tannins and structure are there, though.

Play-doh, underripe blackberry, charred cedar. Not bad, but severely outclassed by @bedrockwineco 2011 T' n 'S

Great density and fresh varietal character. Inky fruit, fennel, and mineral tones. Sharp and juicy upon opening with sturdy tannins that will outlive the fruit. Impressive stamina; the wine only builds and round out with air.

Needs tons of time. Way tannic. I can even smell vinegar.

A nice wine for the price. Not very complex but blackberry and anise flavors come through. Not very tannic for a young wine. #QPR #QPRGem

The sweetest startled me at first, but the tannins saved it from tasting too synthetic or processed. The tannins bridle the sweetness add a bit of complexity. Good with meat!
