STG does California Cabernet (Seattle): served blind my least favorite of the flight (discounting the corked Realm). It smelled sweetly pruned and the alcohol was high. After it turned out to be Cab Franc, I tasted it again, and would never have guessed it - it seemed to lack any particular personality, other than too boozy. Meh.

Purple to the rim. Forgiving nose of chocolate, coffee, blackberries and more chocolate. the palate was lush, simple and ripe, balanced and open. Nice cassis notes and some cocoa, medium bodied and pretty average finish, this was uninspiring tonite. was waiting for more but nothing going. certainly ready to drink, this wine, while tasty, does not inspire.

BWN - Smoke anise, cedar box dark cherry. Almost tawny port in color. The noise was to die for but the fruit was faded and not much to back it up.
