Community Tasting Note

Thursday, September 24, 2009 - Dark opaque purple. Brooding, dark fruit with a hint of spice and a little alcoholic heat on the nose. Eventually it developed a little bit of a mineral/graphite note on the nose. Initially (for the first hour or so) this was Blueberries, Blueberries, Blueberries on the palate. As time went by, it developed a bit, to include a bit of cherry, tar and licorice.

I can't say it's a bad wine, but really didn't make me too happy -- even considering it's a cab and not burgundy/champagne/nebbiolo/rhone. Just not really interesting or particularly yummy. I keep trying to like these new world wines from my wine drinking "youth," but, more and more, I can only say "why bother." YMMV(?)
