  Annual Wine Group Summer Event - BBQ Brisket at Siggy's (Siggy & Jenny's Place, Mpls, MN): Small glass, from magnum. No notes, but same bottle as I'd Rather Be Drinking Wine. Good, but I never seem to be as crazy about the single blocks. This one may benefit from 1 to 2 years.

  Wine Group Picnic at Steve's: PnP from a mag - This wine was drinking well, and would be even more enjoyable if drinking by itself. The wine showed lots of fruit, especially dark cherry, with hints of some red fruits and some herbs and spiced, with a tough of earth, forest floor and some sweet oak. The wine still shows a fair amount of acidity and liveliness. This wine still drank fairly young, but it was a mag, so keep that in mind while reading these notes. This bottle was young and you should be in no hurry to drink. I would think, based on how this bottle performed, that the .750's would be drinking even better. Also, please note that when I tasted this wine, it had been sitting in a bottle for about an hour and thirty minutes, and further improved with time the glass. 92 points with slight potential for improvement.

  Very nice with Turkey noodle soup. Really balanced, with just the right combination of fruit, herbaceous notes, fine tannins. Should be very drink mksble for several more years but I don’t think it’s going to improve much more. I wish I had more of this wine.

  Initially a pleasant mix of red fruits and baking spice and vanilla on the nose. But the alcohol, though low, was a little distracting. Gentle but present tannins. Not much of a finish.
  
  On day two much more interesting. A bit smokey, red fruit. Tannins are more integrated. The alcohol isn't so up front.
