Community Tasting Note

Meeshka Does not like this wine:

Tuesday, October 19, 2021 - I’m still not sold on this wine. Darrell drank a bottle while I was out of town and liked it, but tonight, I fought it all along the way. Tasted terrible on opening. Scent was not terrible but tasted very smoky and either strong of Grenache or Mourvèdre…not sure which, but in a cheap local wine kind of way. After about 2 hours decanting, it has softened but that cheap wine taste continues, tho some more interesting flavors are becoming more evident. Very fruity but indistinct. The smokiness is still pronounced after two hours. It actually seemed to pair well with our fruit and cheese spread dinner. The cheese seemed to softened to strong flavors. There is a flavor in this wine that very much reminds me of cheap red wine, but I can’t tell if it’s the Grenache or Mourvèdre. Continues to taste smoky. I can’t say I would ever go out and buy this wine…I’m drinking it because we got stuck with 3 cases of it when we bought a friend’s complete cellar.
