Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, March 20, 2012 - JT is having a baby (Houstons - Irvine, CA): Given all the positive reviews here on CT this wine is clearly well liked. But to be honest, I don't really get it. For to my palate, the wine seems a bit too manipulated, too overworked. The result for me is a compact and muddled palate and an overall lack of freshness. That said, there are some interesting aromatic elements to it -- some good, some not so good, such as dried apricots (yum), nectarines (yum), toasted marshmallow (no), and cotton candy (ok). Dry in the mouth, with some nice acidic citrus fruits, but the finish is extremely bitter and alcoholic. I'm glad I got to try it, but this is not a wine that I would buy for myself.
