Community Tasting Note

Sunday, July 6, 2008 - Better than the 2004 and not as good as the 2003, the 2005 is rocking the dark, ripe fruit. It is smooth, fairly balanced and pretty good-tasting. If I were to criticize it, I might say it's a little too ripe, too extracted and too dark fruited . .but it's a very good wine at it's price point and very drinkable. I will be buying more.

Had it with a grilled ribeye and it was a good match. Maybe the ribeye was a bit too much for the wine - but it was passable. Thinking more of a tangy bbq chicken or pork.
