This smells charred and burnt, with a leaf aroma following. It ranges from fresh to grating, with roasted tomato, plum, compost and earth flavors. Saucy and roasted on the finish, this is a blend of Tempranillo, Cabernet and Syrah.

Smells like cherries and fruit punch. The palate is snappy and simple, with red fruit front and center. Shows a tiny bit of wood on the finish, but overall it’s a tart, lean wine that grabs at the palate.

Tomato and rhubarb are present on the earthy nose, which isn’t very fruity but does set the stage for solid raspberry and cherry flavors. Medium to light in weight, with a slight barnyardy, herbal quality to the finish.

Piercing wood intersects with cherry aromas in front of a lean, scrappy palate that features short raspberry and cherry flavors. Quite tangy, zesty stuff with no off flavors but nothing to write home about, either.

Intersting up front, with savory, roasted aromas of smoky plum and barbecue. It feels bullish and punishing, bearing monster tannins and heavy extraction, with a roasted, charred flavor that leads to an all-out resiny, burnt-wood-tasting finish.
