Monday, July 16, 2018 - Wine Dojo - Week 18 - Off 'Bord'way (Elissa's Place): Tasted Blind

A: Medium purple
N: Medium (+) nose. Youthful notes of blackberry, black cherry, BAKING SPICE, COFFEE, tobacco and some bell pepper.
P: Dry, high acidity, medium (+) tannin , full body, medium (+) intensity, alcohol (13.5%) and finish.
C: Not as ripe and sweet as the California stuff. The cherries were a dead give away for Washington apparently (Em). Might be more interesting to lay it down for 3 years but a Very good quality wine for $13. Good QPR.

GUESSES:
Fruit forward and therefore new world. Moderate climate owing to controlled alcohol and the fruit wasn't cooked. The cassis and blackberries sent me to Cabernet Sauvignon.
