Mira Winery
Jimmy D's Napa Valley Red Blend
Very dry and tannic. Needed some air but still never really opened up. May have popped too early

May 14th, 2017Nose is heavy tobacco and earthy. Maybe a little bit of paprika. Extremely dark purple in the glass. Absolutely no light getting through. On the front of the palate, the earthiness continues, along with a little hint of lemon zest. There is a bitter, coppery edge, but not in a bad way. All in all, not too bad. Will have to let it air out and open up a bit.
