Dark ruby, pink edges.  Off- banana-peel oxidized, bad amateur burnt-rubber electrical-fire feed-lot ridiculousness.  Mendo Co has the capability to make great BDX-variety wines, but they are always a touch weird–unlike this one, which is just plain flat-out BAD.  It tastes better than it smells, which is a welcome reverse of the norm.  Thinly fruited and monumental tannin and Vit-C acid attacking instantly and obliteratingly.  Just don’t.
