The 2008 Muleskinner is toned down, perhaps from the cooler vintage. Though still plenty ripe and full throttle (almost 15% alcohol), it brings in nuances of herb and earth that add some depth and interest; the fruit flavors run to pomegranate and tart red berry. The new oak is again pulled back (to 40%), and adds just a hint of toast and coffee to the finish. ——P.G.(5/1/2011)—— 90
