7.0

Every iteration of berry; black, blue, and red; tart, ripe, and jammy. The fruit is underlined by a slight herbaceous note of fresh mint. A bit too raisinated, but more like craisins. Could use a bit more acid to balance the overripeness, however it is a great example of southern rhone blends in the new world.
