3/20/2009 - mozart23 wrote: NRA lot of heat on the nose, which made me look at the bottle and realize that it shouldn't be surprising that it's 15.8% alcohol. What did surprise me was how strangely sweet the wine was; it was very port-like which makes me wonder if this bottle is past it's prime. Or whether or not I've been drinking way too much tonight. Or both. |

We didn't feel it was sweet at all and it definitely had Syrah-like characteristics (spice, etc). It was definitely enjoyable. |

2/19/2008 - mozart23 wrote: NRGreat cherry red color with great legs, nose is very berrylicious with no heat. Right out of the bottle, it has almost an astringent quality and an odd aftertaste. After sitting in the glass the astringency has died down and I'm getting a little bit of earth and tobacco maybe. |

2003 Wellington Cabernet Sauvignon Sonoma Countymore |
2/13/2008 - mozart23 wrote: NROne of the best cabs that I've had the pleasure of drinking. Great color and structure, and not overly tannic. There was a bit of sediment in the neck and on the cork when I opened it, so I recommend standing it upright a few days before opening. Held up pretty well over the few (three) days after it was opened. Wish I had some more detailed notes, though! I will definitely have to go pick up some more next time I'm up in Sonoma |

1/28/2008 - mozart23 wrote: NRBright garnet color with long legs. No heat on the nose but not terribly complex or interesting. Seems a little thin when paired with simple spaghetti w/tomato sauce and grated parmesan. May be past its prime and on the decline. |

1/25/2008 - mozart23 wrote: NRIt's got vanilla in the nose and really clings to the glass. Upon first taste, the one thing that jumped out at me was pepper & spice, with low-to-moderate tannins. It isn't hot in the least bit and went really well with some chile-spiced chicken that I stir-fried tonight. |
