CT Seattle Offline II (Amaroso Room @ Bellevue Wine Storage): Bright red cherries just popped from the wine. Nice and tart. Liked it, but would have liked to see a bit more depth or some secondary flavors come up. This was our 3rd ranked wine out of 6, and the group's 4th.

Dark ruby in color, nose of ripe plum, white pepper, bay leaf, and a hint of tar and fennel. Taste was a bit grapey for me, probably cracked it a little to young. Good balance as the fruit fades to taste of leather with tannins and acid in check. Decent finish, but not evolved. I would give this a few more years to see if the jammy effect dissipates.

(EFESTE Emmy Red Wine Stone Tree Vineyard Wahluke Slope) An aromatic wine with peppery spice, mineral, a potpourri of fruit and floral notes, and a meaty streak. The palate is medium bodied with seamless fruit flavors and a lithe feel. 67% Mourvedre, 22% Grenache, and 11% Syrah. StoneTree Vineyard.

Dense and opaque in glass
Dark fruit, spice and plum aromas
Smooth texture, touch of glycerine, dark berries, spice and the hardness of mourvedre.
Good amount of life left

Seattle Wine Group - Dec 2014 Tasting - Theme: CA Cabs (Amaroso Room - Wine Storage Bellevue): Nose of black cherry and pepper. Jammy, black cherry cough syrup flavor a bit too much for me. Palate is a jumbled mess. One bottle left and it will fostered off on the next ubiquitous holiday party I attend. Good riddance.

Jammy, potent fruit, but without other characteristics to hold it up. Not sure if in an awkward stage or if this is where it will be.
