Community Tasting Note

Monday, June 2, 2014 - Cabernet resembling Lodi Zinfandel? Figure it out: Decanted 45 mins. ahead off of just a bit of sediment. Very dark, almost espresso color of garnet and coffee. Nice but shy classic-cabernet nose, with plums, dust, spices, a touch of mushrooms. Smooth and dark on the palate as age has smoothed it out. Texture has a bit of syrup. Finishes richly, with a dusting of tannins holding on, along with black pepper and creosote. I can't remember what I paid for this wine, but it was probably a closeout deal. If so, it has a wonderful QPR. A crazy find. Note that 87 = very good, definitely drinkable and interesting.
