WTSO Recent Wines; 3/1/2022-4/16/2022: Day 1: Getting ready for the WTSO Raymond tasting this Thursday. On initial pour oak overload. Yes that blew off to reveal a much better wine which is wine all young wines need to be decanted. Cherry, oak, vanilla, spices, bitter chocolate and plum. Full bodied effort but dry in style. Still tannic and young. A lot of potential here and a very good value at $50.00. (Natural cork) 90-93 points. Day 2: No surprise that a young Napa Cabernet is better on day 2. Still showing some oak but the other flavors are more present featuring blueberries, saw dust, cherry, vanilla, bitter chocolate and spices. Medium plus finish and good acidity. Solid wine. 91 points Day 3: Oak, tannic, cherry, plum, spices, and bitter chocolate. For sure cellar this wine for 3 to 5 years. Recommendation: You will be rewarded by opening this in 2026 or later.
