Community Tasting Notes 4

  May 31, 2009 - Very dense, dark rubi red. The nose is seductive and yummy, but you can tell that oak is doing its thing. Don't get me wrong, the nose is very nice. It does show some scents of blackberry and black currant, and like I said, oak driven. Sure enough, the palate is very oak driven as well. However, it delivers good quality fruit, dark berries, burnt coffee bean, vanilla bean, very nice acidity and grip on the palate, maybe some sour cherries, tobacco and cedar box at the end, along with black pepper that lingers longer than long. I just wish this wine had less oak. It is quite overly oaked. Too bad.. quality is also good, but under exposed.

  February 27, 2009 - Deep aromas ... very floral. Bouquet was beautiful. Slighly heavy. Went very well with a T-bone steak and some cheese. My wife is not a big fan of heavy wines, but she really liked this one.

  November 14, 2008 - Brackish nose, twigs, spalding balls, and plum on the palate. Disjointed.

  August 28, 2008 - Was unusually good. Deep aromas -- ruby, cherries, some tar. A slightly heavier body. Was a little spicy on the finish. Went really well with spicy food.
