Community Tasting Note

  • Birorganic Likes this wine: 90 points

    August 8, 2014 - A solid wine that should be way past its prime. RP said to drink it 2004-2014. The 61 bottles in cellars without any tasting notes for years tells me these bottles are buried in big cellars. Well you'll be in for a pleasant surprise when you finally crack the cork. The fruit is still there, well integrated. The joy with this wine when young was the bright fruit and Viognier co-fermented with the Syrah. Now it has more of a northern Rhone feel to it with more brooding dark complex fruit. This would be perfect right now with grilled steak but I've been vegetarian for 24 years. Fire up the grill carnivores and pull the cork! Bravo again Richard Arrowood.
