Community Tasting Note

  November 4, 2013 - Opened up well after 4 plus hours. Very jammy initially and heavy alcohol. But once this "blows off", you are left with a rich fruity wine that will complement red meat and duck well. A keeper with lots of dark red berries infused in the mix. Good value FM. This is what I call a fun occasion wine. Good one for a Christmas / Thanksgiving / Any Party. Obviously a hot year and while the alcohol content is high at 14.5%, it is not explosive. But (and I say but) the alcohol is quite obvious in the nose. More so then the palette (unusual). It is a very good food wine. I wouldn’t eat it with steak, too much full on fruit… but a good Lamb Saddle would work well. It would be GREAT with duck confit or Roast Duck (Chinese Style), Roast Goose or even Roast Turkey with cranberry sauce on the side
