Notes of baked blueberries and prunes. Tastes different. At first sip, wasn't sure if it was really good or really bad... At second sip, decided I liked it.

The look is very translucent, Pinot Noir like. Nose has distinct oak flavors. Initial taste is very light with fruity flavors and light tannins. After small decanting a peppery spice can be noted, with cherry and licorice on the finish, but the wine remains very very light and lacking complexity. Allow to decant longer and the pepper spice will come out with a tannin backing.

Fruity, but not too sweet... Bits of plum, red apple.. Leather hint... Tannins. 12/6/13

Just so ready to party. Ripe with sophisticated tannic dimension and structure. Grenache bomb!
