On the second day the blackberry note dominates the nose.

On the second day the blackberry and black raspberry notes seem to dominate the palate, the spice box is present but more on the finish today.
Mouthfeel: medium-full, tart bite on mid and finish, nice medium weight on the tongue. On day two there is a thicker, almost jammy, feel on the tongue.
My Strength Rating: 6.5/ on day two 7
To the Point: Yes, I like this wine. I’ll be ordering this one soon.
This is a very interesting blend. 50% Merlot from Bowers Vineyards and 50% Petite Verdot from Washingtons Horse Heaven Hills. Horse Heaven Hills has been making some wines that I have really come to like over the last couple of years. Bombing Range Red is one of them.
