Community Tasting Note

alfaverde Likes this wine:

Thursday, June 26, 2014 - This wine was an interesting experience. It is billed as a "traditional" california field blend done in the methods used in the past century. I tend to like to try wines that are a little out of the ordinary for the knowledge and experience that they can bring to my palate. The nose is relatively mild with some floral notes and some savory roasted meat. The flavor is of tart dark red fruits and a bit of licorice. This is still tightly wound and would benefit from cellaring long beyond the maturity date of 2017 listed on this site. Some decanting is required to open up the structure on this one and is highly recommended. It does pair well with a really sharp cheddar to bring the fruit forward. On its own it is a bit of a beast, but still very good. Drink this one for the experience knowing full well that this is not like most wines out there these days. Cheers!
