Drinking perfectly swimmingly. Probably helped by the fact so meeny anemic reds had been consumed this week-end. Deep ruby with no browning. Floral, spicy, notes were backed by lots of black fruits. Lots to like here. A 4+-lapper finish. 90/92. 33 by the box. No alc given. WW

Middle daughter and hubby came over for some Freemont Tangerines and opened another of these suckers for brunch. Nose has expanded but still has another 1-2 to resolve some soft tannins. No change in scoring. Lovely juice. WW

Absolutely perfect with the marinated leftover tri-tip . Kick-patootie nose and red, black and blue fruits. All hit the ground running up and down the palate. Seems the finish has fleshed out and has shed most of the tannins. Needs to be kicked up to a solid 91. WW
