Since we've had some decent luck with the Kirkland label before, I figured I'd grab a bottle of this at $17.
Not much else but earth on the nose.
Even after two full hours of airtime this one was still tight. A fair amount of dirt, funk, forest floor, some green notes, and raspberry.
The finish lasts for a while starting with cherry, then dirt comes through, and finally it trails off with lingering raspberry.
Maybe it needs some more time in the cellar, but this one is a bit too tight at this point. While there's some nice complexity and a bit of varietal characteristic,I think it would be worth picking up a bottle and sitting on it for a while to see what happens.
