| Tasted by RPerro on 9/12/2009 & rated 87 points: Oregon Wine Country Tasting (Willamette Valley, OR): This wine typically needs 6+ months in the bottle to start coming around (unless it is the 2007, which never really did). After a wonderful 2006 vintage (heavy on the Zinfandel) of this wine, I loaded up with 6 bottles of the Sangiovese-based 2007 (untasted) and got burned. And it still isn't anywhere near the delicious 2006. So when the Zin-heavy 2008 was released, I was quite happy! But, learning from my 2007 mistake, I only picked up 4 bottles this time. I'm kind of glad I did, because I wasn't too impressed with the wine. Admittedly, it is still quite young, but the wine seemed rather flat and unexciting. I was hoping for the deep fruit of the 2006, but it fell short. Some sweet blue and black fruit was present, but the finish was quite bitter. I'm hoping this wine comes around by 2010.

| Tasted by beezer6 on 8/19/2009 & rated 86 points: Owen Roe Winemaker Seminar (Binny's on Clark - Chicago, IL): Least favorite wine of the evening. Simple, one dimensional red fruit. Not exciting, yet, nothing to complain about. Finish is a little rough but fine as a whole. (567 views) |
