2013 - Unusually sweet, luscious fruit forward bouquet; medium body and finish; good with or without food.

Dense ruby with light red accents. Really interesting nose of dusty cocoa, caramel, and vibrant red fruit. Upon opening, there’s no real spark to this wine at all. Nothing bad, just another well made, forgettable bottle. Lean almost to the point of sparse. After an hour or two, that changes. The mountain fruit takes over and shows it’s true colors. Soft, round tannins and low acidity lead to a silky mouthfeel. On the palate, there’s plenty more yummy red mountain fruit, along with Asian spices, fresh cut grass, and a bit of leather. Plenty of oak on the finish. Fun, fun stuff.
