Community Tasting Note

  • Lou wrote: 88 points

    March 7, 2010 - I believe this bottle was overrated by Wine Spectator. I understand that this is a mountain Cab and will be more austere than a Napa floor Cab. However I believe there is a unbalanced flavor. Too much of a minerally vegetative taste for my palette. It takes a long time to open and leaves an unpleasant astringent taste that lingers and tends to overpower any food I paired with it. I can taste the potential so I just put the balance of 3 bottles to bed for a couple of years. I also think at $70 a bottle the producer is taking advantage of the WS rating of 94. If you go on the Website they are promoting the wine using this rating. Very skeptical to me.
