Community Tasting Notes 15

  December 19, 2013 - A bit of plum and blueberry fade into a mellow, woody middle, then morph into black cherry with a hint of licorice for the finish. Dry, but not "puckery" after the fact. Blueberry pie is still lingering in my sinuses...
  
  I'd have rated this wine a bit lower if I had paid more than $15 for it, but it was in the BARGAIN BIN at the Liquor store at which I work! ($7.99!)

  June 20, 2013 - I agree with most everyone's comments...a nice value wine with a lighter body than many Merlots. I like the berry flavors but did not note the same level of tannins as many. Either way, a very enjoyable wine to sip at the price I paid. Continues the Rodney Strong tradition of exceeding expectations for the price (have you tried their Zinfandels?)

  March 5, 2012 - Truffles and some mushrooms, lots of berries with nice strong tannins and a long aftertaste with a taste of blue berries.

  January 3, 2012 - An outstanding merlot (or any wine) for the price.

  October 4, 2011 - Plum and licorice dominate the nose. An immediate flood of fruity goodness greets the palate. A tad thin-bodied, which, in a good way, prevents it from being too "jammy." Good structure on the finish with a bit of heat. This is still young and could cellar for 2-3 more years easy. A very good bargain for the price point, as others have noted.
