Flying Fox
Monticello Red Blend 2016
Decent blend for a table red. Drank it too early because the cork was starting to come off on its own :/ — 5 months ago
Hope you are well Brian! You know that flying fox is essentially a 2nd label for Veritas. They have managed ops for a long time and recently to full control. Good terroir! So I gotta ask: do you cellar any bottles...or do you get tempted and pop the cork?
@Ron from VA I’m a patient one on those that need time. I saved some 2007 Bordeaux’s until 2017 once and glad I did. Some wines taste best with age. This one had a flawed cork and yes, did hear Veritas & Flying Fox are one in same (latter is the children’s winery).

A very smooth red blend, balanced well and very drinkable. — 2 months ago

Velvety smooth, stone fruit and hint of fig. This Zin could age more time, but it’s a solid one I’d get again. — 2 days ago
