May 7, 2016 - Heritage Blind Tasting Challenge (Milling Room): Served double-blind. Sweet, jammy, powerful, ripe, dripping black fruit, noticeable oak, hint of VA. Lots of extract, lots of ripe, rich tannins, surprisingly decent acid and the tannins are from fruit, not oak. No real complexity, but it's pretty darn tasty even if it's kind of boring. No real varietal character to me, but obviously a CA wine. I guessed a 2009 Maybach cab. First time I've ever tasted an SQN and given my usual AFWE preferences I was pleasantly surprised, although I'd never pay the $250 or whatever it is this costs. I may have to surrender my AFWE card now though.
