Community Tasting Notes 8

  January 13, 2015 - A great wall of Sonoma yeast comes charging out of the glass, followed by a trail punished duster of fruity horse sweat and trollop twat. Let it never be said that Woot! wines have anything remotely resembling consistency. This apparently emanates from that no-mans hinterland of sublime dreck.

  July 13, 2013 - Deep dark ruby. Crushed raspberry, leather and earth nose. Medium to full bodied, dirty cranberries, turbo black cherries, pepper, heat, copious sweet tannins, dark chocolate, and a medium finish. Fruit forward but not out of control.

  January 19, 2011 - Most surprised as to how good this Zin is.
  Good tart fruits on the nose, tart rapsberry and boysenberry, leather and fresh tobacco, and other things I can't place. Spicy. Lovely balance, and not OTT. Fresh, with some zippy minerality. nice acid backbone, and even a little soft tannin on the finish. Neatly mineral, and a long long finish, wiht the fruits present still.
  Slighty tidddly after hald a bottle of this stuff. Went well with homemade Tamales.

  November 26, 2010 - Here again, no formal tasting notes as this wine was consumed during the annual Thanksgiving bacchanal at Casa de Rose. Through a haze of turkey, taters, stuffing, and something I can't quite recall, we enjoyed this wine, dare I say, as a means to wash down the components of the meal.
  
  From what I remember everyone found this to be a really decent match for the Thanksgiving flavors. Bold enough to dance with all of the craziness being passed around the table, but restrained enough that no one felt they were getting beat over the head with a high octane fruit explosion.
  
  Moments before unbuttoning my Levi's and going fully horizontal on the sofa, just in time to watch Drew B. remind the Cowboys why they suck, I made a mental note that Roadhouse kicked ass on this wine and I wish I had more in the closet. Fairly pronounced dark fruit on the nose and a nice balance of ripe black cherries and spice on the palate.
  
  If you can, hit these guys up and grab some!
