Community Tasting Note

Saturday, October 30, 2021 - An interesting wine and looking at prior comments, I can see why there are both likers and haters for this. It is the most New World/Cali type of expression from Ed Kurtzman that I’ve ever tried. A bit candied and ripe with higher-than-usual (for a Sandler) oak influence and high abv. There’s also a good splash of acidity to save it from being a completely concocted, mass-produced style disappointment. But over the three hours open, the alcohol did start to take over and burn up the palate. Having said that, the pleasing red-fruited nature will appeal to many. Perhaps those with an affinity for Aussie Shiraz.
5+11+12+7= 85
