Rich dark fruit, liquid smoke and toast, would be interesting to pair this with B.B.Q and give it a few hours of air. But smoke dominated the palate

Put it this way: it's the only TMZ I can tolerate. Big fruits, soft tannins, not bad...

Great red from Uruguay. Big black fruit aromas. Full and ripe fruit flavors of blackberries and plums. Big note of juniper berries. Hints of herbs and just the right amount of oak. Rich and velvety texture. Did not have the big tannin structure I was expecting. Blending in 30% Merlot is a great move. Really softened the big Tennat tannin reputation. Outstanding vino!

Blackcherry--all juicy sweet, with a hot-rock streak before it opent up all green streaked & soft. Great acid, for a boozy buddy. Great stuff.

Big, inky and dark with nose of leather, chocolate, spices, a bit of smoke, and jammy blueberries and blackberries. Bold, rich, and fruit-forward on the palate with an up-front bitterness that is smoothed over in the finish.
