Livermore Valley Tasting (My Place - Washington, DC): Medium purple color. Deep waves of fruit (black cherries, red and black currants, blueberries), the fruit is rich and velvety, notes of sweet black licorice, eucalyptus and dark roasted coffee. Bold and fruity, rich and chewy with plenty of tannic structure, medium-low acid. Love the deep, velvety black and blue fruit. Significant mocha, toast and cedar, but it doesn’t overwhelm the other elements of eucalyptus, pepper and sweet pipe tobacco. Long, full, yet leaves something to the imagination. 46% Cabernet Sauvignon, 43% Merlot, 5% Petite Verdot, 3% Cabernet Franc and 3% Malbec. Aged for 33 months in a mix of French, American and Hungarian oak, 35% new.

Tasted at Fenestra Winery, nose of cherry, mocha, forest floor, and a hint of cedar, more of the same on the palate, well blended, medium/big body, delicious to taste but a trifle uninspiring for me, medium/long finish, not sure why but definitely not the value of the other red wines tasted here.

Dark berries, minerals with a spicy finish. Nor too earthy, not to sweet. Delicious.
