Community Tasting Note

Friday, November 25, 2011 - Always a nice everyday drinking wine I decided to pop and pour a stored bottle for the day before Thanksgiving. I would recommend some decanting but on to the quick review. This cab had a nice smell from the get go. Seemed like some vanilla, burnt oak, and cherry. Nice fruit and smooth and easy to drink tannin structure. Upon taste, a nice bounty of red fruit. I can certainly note the taste a mix of red fruit and in particular the taste of cherry jam, leather, and blackberry seem prevalent to me. A nice effort by St Clement but not worth waiting any longer if you have any unopened. I would recommend drinking them now. Not as nice as some of the other St Clement wines of the era, but a good effort nonetheless. Would be better paired with a meat and potato meal such as a steak.
