Community Tasting Notes 2

  February 15, 2021 - Ruby red with dense aromas of cassis, cherry licorice, plum, rose petals, and a whiff of graphite. The finessed palate shows an underlying fresh acidity to support velvety tannin and restrained alcohol. Although a touch grapey (thanks Petite Sirah) and fruit-forward, there is a depth of flavor - crushed pepper, tomato leaf, leather, menthol tobacco, cardamon, and sawdust. This is an ultra-top secret, proprietary blend of a multitude of grapes. And it works!

  August 12, 2020 - I'm sorry I have an attitude about Lorenzi but they simply over rate their product. I didn't dislike this wine. There were no glaring flaws. But there was no fruit on the nose. There was some leather, tobacco, fig, and prune in the mouth. Higher acid than I like; I'm saying not rounded in the mouth. And the finish was all acid. My apologies to the French style aficionados who think acid is the bomb but I like what I call a drinking wine. One that can stand alone. I live in Frederick Maryland; I have been to wine country in Temecula on 5-6 different visits for the purpose of tasting wine. I can only give it an 88-89 rating and not worth the asking price.
