Tasted Sunday, December 31, 2023 by KC Wine Enthusiast with 21 views
100% Varietals, no blends.
Decanted to identical bottles hours before tasting experience.
Participants informed of the four possible wines before them.
Empty unrinsed bottles and corks on table top for participants to examine.
Participants asked to match the four wines before them on their ballot.
Four wines are:
2021 Alexander Valley Vineyards Cabernet Franc
2020 Cháteau Thivin Brouilly Reverdon
2016 Once & Future Wine Merlot Sangiacomo Vineyard
2016 Goodfellow Family Cellars Pinot Noir Whistling Ridge Vineyard
Wines were more similar than expected. Color was a give away for the Goodfellow Family Cellars Pinot, and Once & Future Merlot. The Cab Franc and Beaujolais were at first difficult to distinguish from each other. In the end I was able to identify all four wines correctly.
2021 Alexander Valley Vineyards Cabernet Franc 92 Points
USA, California, Sonoma County, Alexander Valley
14.0% ABV Dark in color, multi-layered dark fruit, pepper on finish.
