CVed 1/26/18. Second of three. Strong funk on nose literal barnyard manure but gradually blew off into iron earthy fall leaves with mature cherry notes. Palate balanced and lithe, long finish. Good recovery! Origin unknown. Must be early Gordon's. Note: even overnight the empty glass with a bit of wine still shows that earthy funk but in a poorest way. Terroir indeed! Opened 2/22/18. Wow so not at all prominent funk on the nose! If anything a bit reticent. Cork in perfect shape. Wonder why. Great balance on package and long finish. Perfect pairing with pasta red sauce eggplant. Yum. Upping score by one. — 7 years ago

Nose: grape - almost artificial, like a popsicle. Dirt, dried leaves. “Fumey.” White pepper. Plum skin (tannic smell). Alcohol smell.
Palette: tannic, dries out gums (right away). Round/full. Smokey. Juicy - grape, plum, berry. Jammy. — 5 years ago
This is a solid every day red, good with chicken, sausage, pasta, cheese, marinara sauce dishes, and the likes. Nose of raspberry (a lot of it), pepper, allspice, and a sweet floral note I can’t quite put my nostrils on. There’s a slick acidity that keeps your mouth salivating and minimal tannin and very lovely fruit juice. It’s medium to light body makes this quite gulp-able. Solid price point too. — 6 years ago
Light woody slight acidity. Perfect for apéro !! — 7 years ago
A beautiful bouquet of velveted roses and violets pours out of the glass. Complexly intermingled raspberries and cherries over crushed white pepper and a subtle cedar woodiness.
A bright cherry pallatte if backed by dusty lovely tannin. The racy acidity drives the flavors across the pallatte as they turn darker riper and leave a lovely cocoay feel. Great wine. — 7 years ago
