Community Tasting Note

Saturday, May 15, 2004 - Tasted at the Quilceda Release Party. 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot, 11% Cabernet Franc. This is the tastiest version of the Red Wine I have had yet. Where in the past I have complained of lots of wood, this wine seems to be a lot more suave and more about the fruit. I found the front-palate to be lush and smooth with a somewhat herbal edginess framed by some vanilla. This is a big wine with a mouthful of tannins on the backend. The tannins were somewhat coarse in comparison to the 2001 Cab Sauv, but then again most wines would seem gritty by comparison to that beauty. I will pick some of this up when it is released in the Fall.
