Twisted Oak Calaveras County River of Skulls 2006
Region: Calaveras County, California
Winery: Twisted Oak Winery
Variety: Mourvèdre, Syrah

Color: Inky purple, with blue and garnet highlights.

Nose: Blueberry and some anise first, with some spicy mint and some menthol. Finishes with some slight rosemary.

Palate: Some vanilla oak at the fore, that is still a long way from being integrated. Then some blueberry and some scary deep and dark blackberry. There's a round and sturdy grip, with a full body and structured nicely. Finishes with some slightly tarter raspberry, but just a hint. Then there's a long final finish of dusty blueberries. Quite good and needs some time. It will be hard to wait ~4yrs to try it again, however!
