Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, June 4, 2014 - Mercifully, this was the last of the four Terra Valentine bottles I bought in an apparent fit of madness three years ago. In addition to my notes on my last bottle of this exactly one year ago to the day, which basically mirror my experience tonight, I discovered something I missed before. The back label (clearly with no shame) reveals that this $75 cuvee was made with not-even-four-year-old vines. As in, this is the second vintage these vines have ever produced. So I suppose it's no surprise that this wine tastes like overripe, overextracted nondescript fruit crammed into too much new oak for too long---that's exactly what it is. Incredible that they have no problem selling this.
