This is equal parts Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, but my nose keeps telling me it's Syrah. Heat and spice on the nose. Muted dark fruit flavors, blackberry, raisin, figs followed by powerfully bitter tea leaves, red apple skins, and stone. A lingering tannic finish. It's good, but should have been decanted and paired with food, not sipped before bed. Try again tomorrow.
Listening to Counting Crows.
