Community Tasting Note

  November 15, 2010 - Grenache with Dan P (Estadio, Washington DC): This wine is a failed approach at winemaking. While it has admirable qualities - very thick and viscous blueberry fruit, some rhum and rhubarb as well as port like flavors - it is inexcusable unbalanced and alcoholic. 18.5% abv? My god, who would eat food with this? The wine was basically scalding my mouth, even after having drank several other wines. It settled a bit and showed more and more oak with some time but went through a phase that was simply dumb and even less balanced. I cannot understand wines like this and I eschew buying them altogether. Approach with caution.
