2005 Stratus Red

Community Tasting Note

Friday, November 28, 2008 - A sweet bouquet of red berries and bell peppers with hints of spices. The nose reminds me somewhat of the 2006 Black Hills Nota Bene, if somewhat less intense. In the mouth, I find this more herbacous than I usually like and slightly austere (perhaps due to the acidity?). I bought one bottle of this wine simply as a trial. On first impressions, I'm not sure I'd buy more, though I'm curious to see whether it shakes that herbaciousness. At the same time, I was tasting this while still recovering somewhat from being ill. That could have had an impact on my impressions and I'm willing to give this another shot.
