Community Tasting Note

  September 22, 2010 - Rich ruby color, a bricked edge. Unmistakably California cabernet, the nose of mints, herbs, red bell pepper, bay leaf, black cherry are enticing and grows better with air over three hours. The heavy vanilla tones and black cherry fruit of this wine at initial release are gone; no perceived oakiness now, and flavors are olives, mint and stewed cherry. A somewhat tangy acid finish, but very enjoyable and pervasive. I'd have pegged this for a cabernet from Oakville fruit a la the style of Heitz nest 1980's Napa bottlings. Stored in our very cold cellar since purchase, had a perfect cork, high neck fill. Tag: Conejo Wine & Provision Cp, $11.95. Bottle #5 of six.
