Community Tasting Notes 2

  • bjecjohnson Likes this wine: 90 points

    March 13, 2013 - APPEARANCE: Very dark and full-bodied
    AROMA: Cherry Cola, oak, tobacco, and leather
    TASTE: Big tannins, juicy, fruity. Coats the palate with a long, enjoyable finish

    November 7, 2012 - This wine has a weird kick of acid right after sipping and an unsettling tannic finish. It actually smells a bit like a watered-down Cayuse--there's a little bit of funk in there--but it's quite thin overall. It's the thinness of the wine that bothers me the most.

    This isn't a bad wine but it's not something we'll buy again.
