Community Tasting Notes 19

  • Baerst Does not like this wine: 85 points

    January 2, 2021 - Nice red fruit to begin followed by a not so pleasant finish. Maybe described as a little chemical’ish or industrial finish.

  • OldHick95 Likes this wine: 88 points

    September 25, 2020 - Aroma is a bit yeasty, with brambly fruit. Tastes of bitter cherry. Light tannins.

  • The Drunken Cyclist Likes this wine: 90 points

    June 11, 2020 - Retail $15. 100% Monastrell (Mourvèdre). This wine received a rather high score from one Robert Parker (92) but has been less well-received here on Cellar Tracker (average of 86 in 23 reviews). Nearly opaque ruby red with aromas of black fruit (black raspberry and black cherry), spice, nutmeg, and just a hint of funk (but I love the funk). The palate is certainly more acid than fruit-driven, but there is some lovely fruit, particularly on day two. On day one, I was less than thrilled (closer to the Cellar Tracker opinion) but twenty-four hours later? While not ALL the way there, I am a lot closer to the Parker assessment. thedrunkencyclist.com

    November 21, 2019 - A bit too much beat down on this wine from previous posts. while not a star by any measure. It paired well with pork shoulder and cherry shallot jus. A round fruity medium body wine with no discernible tannins, built with a touch of residual sugar left over. the wine is fine for a home cooked week night meal. cheers!

  • Richard123 Likes this wine: 85 points

    July 28, 2019 - Pretty good, with juicy fruit and a nice oak foundation. However, there is a streak of bitterness here that knocks a point or two off. I prefer other wines at this price.
