Monthly 4th Friday is post Thanksgiving this year, so lots of Thanksgiving style wines!

A producer I know nothing about. Rich and ripe. Shows the warm vintage characteristics. Not quite raisin dominant, but there is definitely a sweetened/stewed dark fruit note. Overripe blackberries, plum and cassis on the nose. Very little leather or herbal/savory notes on the palate as it’s full of fruit. Tastes more Napa like than Bordeaux. Tar and sweetened tobacco.
