I wish I could say this bottle was defective, but alas it was the winemaker. A huge blackberry explosion that didnt diminish with decanting. No finish to speak of, but of course I could have still been reeling from the fruit bomb. Run far far away. Ended up getting our money back for this bottle of “wine”. The server said it was light and airy, something we wanted to follow our seafood appitizers and go with our delicate lamb and pork dishses, but instead we got a bottle that was just awful. We left over 3/4 of it sitting on the table. We tried to give it a chance to open up, but it never happened.
