Folk Machine, Parts Labor, California

Deep nose full of fresh blackberries and high-quality fruit. Palate was slightly racy and creamy with flavors of ripe, pink grapefruit and dense black fruits, with a little bit of woodsiness in the finish. Light on it's feet.

Popped and poured. Fragrant red berry fruit aroma with some rubber. Spicy, tart, rich flavors of cassis, thyme. Menthol in the finish. Not complex, but interesting. Understated, with a well integrated set of diverse flavors. Glou glou. Excellent QPR.

Vibrant red fruit and a little tartness, not terribly complex but fun, easy to drink, and food friendly, a killer value.

Drinkable, but too fruity for my taste, acidic, not balanced, tasted like a cheap red, which I suppose it was, but not so cheap that it should have tasted that way.

moderate depth of color, rubyish rim. aromatically a bit restrained with strawberry, kirsch... some background dark fruits... i didn't pick up any oak on this wine... on the palate it has moderate acidity, moderate midpalate weight, a moderate amount of moderately ripe tannins... low to moderate alcohol. balanced wine, short length, ok intensity, average complexity. wine has so so finesse, a slightly coarse texture... ok expression of place. this was a good bottle of wine... perfectly serviceable and a decent …

identical note...

The nose was deep with aromas of fresh black berries and generally high quality fruit. In the mouth were slightly racy and creamy flavors of dense black fruit and ripe, pink grapefruit. There seemed to be a hint of wood or stems in the finish. In the end this had good fruit and flavor making it a very satisfying drink!
