Friday, June 28, 2013 - Wow, amazing. Our only bottle. Purchased from Margaux Singleton at Enoteca in Calistoga. And, will learn a lot more about Switchback Ridge. No flaws. No sediment. Mild rim variation. Wonderful nose. Dark, dark garnet and dark eggplant colors. Pours with the appearance of a Cabernet. Dark, dark berry nose. Some raspberry, espresso, and dark chocolate. Firm. Tight. Complex. No tannin. Low alcohol. Medium finish. Paired beautifully with smoked salmon and beet salad, with tomato caprese and burrata cheese salad, and mixed silver queen corn with purple hull (pink eye) peas. Just darn exceptional, and, probable deserves a 96. Perfectly drinkable, and, plenty of bottle life left.
Here's a challenge: For those of you not rating this wine 95 or greater, think about it!
