Community Tasting Note

Eduhersp Likes this wine:

Friday, July 31, 2020 - Note:Not decanted much 1 hour
Nose: Nice sweet nose of vanilla,blueberries and some chocolate. A little heat coming in. I will revisit after a few more hours today or tomorrow. Note the heat wears off after an additional hour.

Update: after an additional 2 hours the fruit becomes more prominent.

Sight: Deep Garnet and Inky

taste: Full bodied wine, earthy/loamy in character with a very creamy and voluptuous consistency. This is the Marylin Monroe of wines with very little rough edges. I also get get dashes of dark chocolate, vanilla , sweet tobacco and blueberries caressed seamlessly by the sweet tannins. Because of its low acidity, this wine is very easy to drink and enjoy now. Very Cali in its appeal.

Update: The wine gained a little weight after a couple hours. Very nice concentration. I also get a little more acidity in the mid palate. A lot more juicer than 2 hours ago. Nice development.

Finish: Nice long finish (40+seconds). Mid palate is very, very good.

Overall: Good solid cab for the price point ($48)< mind you CA wines are expensive but they have the quality.

Score: 92-93. After further decanting the score was adjusted to 93 to compensate for the improvement. I would decant for at least 3-4 hours to properly enjoy.
