In deference to my friend BarrelMonkey, I enjoyed this bottle of wine, no burnt rubber here, just a nice bottle of rhone style wine. Not sure I'd pick it out of a line up as a Mourvedre, but, certainly a good bottle of wine (nothing memorable). Certainly a good value and well worth a drink with a meal. Flavors of licorice, dark berry, black pepper. Try again if you didn't like it the first time much better than a score in the 70's in my opinion.

Unusual. Should last for 3-5? More yrs. However not that enjoyable compared to other choices in this price range.

Unusual and seems to be holding up well maybe for another 3-5 yrs? However, after the novelty ur left with a very average wine...

Calaveras County Wine Tasting (The Twisted Oak Winery, and Murphys, CA.): A little burnt rubber on the nose - the pourer tasted the wine and then remarked that I was right - she'd never noticed it before! Sweet in the mouth with med+ acid and no tannins. Alcoholic. 14.1%. $24
