Community Tasting Note

Friday, December 5, 2014 - We took this BYOB to a steak house and opened it with our starter course and then tasted with our steak entrees. Dark garnet colored, medium to full bodied, the black and blue berry fruits are accented by tobacco and a layer of cedar. A slight woody grassy tone detracted from the fruit. It actually reminded of the red Bordeaux varietal wines they grow up in Southwestern Michigan. If left to age, or open longer, this tone might have burned off but a sitting at dinner did not allow time to do so. My buddy has several bottles so we'll try it again and manage it differently and see if we get a different outcome. Perhaps this was an off bottle?
