This is a sneaky little wine. Mint and leather on the nose, but not in high degree. Dried cherries on the front, but not enough of those flavors to make it fruit forward. A light to medium tannic structure that is neither puckery nor velvety. Ending with lingering soft high notes. At first I wasn’t really paying attention to its unpretentiousness, but then I realized that every landmark in my mouth was pleased and smiling. It’s like one of those subtle Grand Cru Bordeauxs that, once every decade or so, give us something brilliant and memorable. Well, after that spiel, I should probably give it a 10.0, but I’ve never tasted a 10.0 — so I’m giving it a 9.8. I can’t think that I’ve given anything more than 9.6. So take it from me that this is a pretty fooking great wine! — 5 years ago

Deep and dark with that electric purple everyone loves. Inky.
Nose brings a jammy charcoal with a good amount of that oak smell I like to call smoke. Cinnamon.
Pallate has a fresh blackberry up front which quickly melts to cocoa and dark stewed fruits. Wraps up a bitter dark chocolate finish not as unpleasant as I would think.
So awesome to find one of these from the states. A great showing from this grape. — 7 years ago
