Fun and bright. No green notes on the palate which were mildly noted on the nose.

Blackberry, red and black cherry, with green bell pepper note, hint of licorice and juniper berry, freshly ground pepper and savory note. Med body, med plus acidity. Beautiful summer red!

Still drinking well, big acidity up front. Fruit slightly faded and green notes are minimal. Paired well with rabbit confit with grits

2014 review
Nose: a few green notes (bell pepper, slightly grassy) and some midrange purple fruit (blackberry predominant)
Pallete: lighter in body than the nose led me to believe. Decent acidity. The front is a little flat but opens up to nice currant notes.

Pretty funky and spicy out front but mellowed out to some bright juicy fruit.

A wonderful wine. Light on its feet. Bright red fruit. Certainly the green bell pepper notes. A superb value with a beautiful finish
