Community Tasting Note

Sunday, September 30, 2012 - My buddy warned me that this was "beaver wine." I see why now. Oak, oak and more oak. Resembles bourbon more than it does Bordeaux. If anything this has the new world fruit and milk chocolate of the right bank Merlot based wines. If you are more of a traditionalist, just skip this. If you are holding multiple bottles, don't think the oak is going to integrate with more time. It's not. If you must, I can see this pairing well with bbq.
