A wine a geologist could love. Wicked gravelly and stony.Dark blackish ruby/garnet. Intensely gravelly dark stony nose, with some dark berry fruit underneath. Peppery, intensely stony flavors as well, with lots of cling and bite. Good acidity and some tannic structure. Shows loads of terroir but not a whole lot of friendly fruit. Needs rustic food; not to be sipped by itself. B-. Was $11.99 at Houston Wine Merchant. A Becky Wasserman Selection.

Nice descriptor! I might have to borrow that one some time (with proper credit to you, of course)!
