Community Tasting Note

Friday, January 28, 2011 - Walking tour of tasting rooms on Lincoln Ave Calistoga, Ca 1/28/2011: We tasted this at the winery tasting room in downtown Calistoga. They described it as black velvet, and they were right. It is always an adventure to drink Cabernet, from a winery whose owners and managers are unashamed Pinot Noir lovers. This wine was purple, so much so, that the glass, and my teeth were purple. It is big, but at the same time soft, I might say feminine. It is rich and heavy while maintaining it's grace and elegance. There is huge blackberry and all the other dark fruits, but it is not a fruit bomb, and so well balanced, that forget all the analysis, just sip and enjoy. The finish lasted for several minutes.
