bottle variation, drink 'em young, whatever, my last bottle.
follow up (4-14-08):
is this even the same wine? two days ago, i put a stopper in the bottle, and placed it in the fridge. tonight, i retrieve it, and i'm merely going to dump it down the drain, but...i decide to take a sip first. holy rose, batman! it's as if clark kent went into the phone booth, and... really, i'm stunned. now the wine has complexity, a long finish, it's flippin' delicious! i give up; wine is a total cluster fuck. tonight, it's the best performance of six bottles. easily 91 big ones.

can you say bottle variation? this one is more like the first two times i had it, the first being at the vineyard with owner charles banks. all components are in the right alignment tonight.

hmmmm. this wine is progressing in the wrong way. the acidity is too bright this time, although there is a decent amount of interesting fruit. bottle variation is alive and well.

a bit wayward, lacked the focus of previous bottles.

Dinner w/ Roy Piper (Backstreet Wine Salon, Phoenix, AZ): Strawberry. A bit hot, but the fruit is nice enough to make this a good wine.
