  The second red wine at the 25th Virtual tasting was from the same producer as the first bottle. This one is a year younger and has been blended with Malbec, Merlot and Cab Franc. A mix of new and used oak in the winemaking allowed us to compare flavors and aromas with a wine that relied mostly on used oak.
  
  In the glass this blend is medium garnet, slightly less opaque than the Cab Sav we tasted previously. Leather, tobacco, black currant, black cherry, blackberry and cassis aromas were quite evident on the nose. The palate was dry, slightly tart with medium tannins, medium (-) acidity and light bodied. Flavors of black currant, spice, leather, tobacco, blood/iron and orange marmalade but I did make a note that this wine was a touch ‘thin’. Scoring it 91 points was a little off from the pros. This $50 bottle gets 3 stars from me and only 14 marks on the tasting scale. Drink now with lighter meat dishes.

  12 Blind Wines in Charlotte (Charlotte, NC): Slo-ox for 3 hours before sampling. Delightfully delicate dusty plum, raspberry, and tobacco on the nose -- very Old World. Decidedly different on the palate -- very New World. Youthful soft fruit of red cherries and raspberries; primary but light and angular. A light, enjoyable wine but lacking a fullness and body I was expecting after the wonderful aromas in the glass. Wonderful build-up but faded unmemorably. The only wine to receive zero Top 3 votes on the night. 12th place.
