Community Tasting Note

Stirling Likes this wine:

Tuesday, May 7, 2013 - Dark red, slight fade at rim. Lovely nose of balckberry and creme de cassis. Intense flavours of red fruits, blueberries and blackberries. What is most noticeable is the texture: this wine is thick with a creamy texture. Evokes a blueberry/blackberry milkshake. The same creamy texture that I find in Hundred Acre, Caymus and some other CA cabs. This is a controversial wine that will polarize opinion: some will love the intensity of the fruit, others will hate it and find it over the top. I am somewhere between, more a fan than a detractor. Thought the creaminess was a bit overdone and obscured any secondary nuances. Very well-made wine, but a style I can visit only a few times a year.
