I believe I rated this back in 2013 and I really did take to it. Once again a totally 1-sided attempt at a red blend!?! I don't know what it is about this wine, but it really doesn't do anything for my palate!?! Very little fruit, no earth, and an unbalanced amount of acidification value. $23/80pts Noble509
