Community Tasting Note

Sunday, December 18, 2016 - 1992 & Older Napa Cabs - Blind - With a Few Ringers (Siggy & Jenny's Place, Mpls, MN): Dark red color. PNP, drank 1 glass blind over an hour. This flight consisted of '92 & '91 Arrowood Sonoma Cab and this '95 Quilceda Creek ringer. The Quilceda took the flight on the strength of a simply glorious nose. I probably could have sat and just nosed this wine all night. The nose alone was easily 95pts. The nose brims with a tantalizing array of earth, rose, potpourri, wood spice, truffle, and pretty dark red fruits that create an amazing perfume.
The palate tonight did not equate the same way. The palate is harder and shows firm tannin and a wood that dominates the faded dark fruit too much.
