Reserve Viking/Anna's Estate Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon Syrah 2015

9.1

I don’t think this is the vintage that delectable pulled up for me. This is the Adelaida Cabernet Sauvignon/Syrah blend, 2016. Adelaida vineyards puts out so many different vintages and blends from year to year that I’m sure delectable has trouble keeping track of them.

anyway, this has leather and dried leaf mulch on the nose. Slightly sour cherries on the front. A very heavy tannic matrix. Velvet smooth until the end when a lot of bitter notes create a long tart finish. This wine fades fast after opening and it turns into a soft red velvet mush. Lots of very fine oxalic acid crystals are suspended in the wine. Decanting didn’t seem to remove them, but I admit I didn’t leave it in the decanter for over 15 minutes – because the wine began to fade. Right out of the bottle I’d give it a 9.1. After it opens up, I’d give it an 8.7. — a month ago

For the Gruner Veltliner - Limpid! Aromas: bracing lemon and white pepper a touch of gooseberry. Rich in the mouth - not the attack I was expecting from the aroma, an intriguing citric nuttiness. — 3 years ago

Fruity Rhone blend with blackberry, cocoa, and tart cherry. Lots of flavor and medium bodied leaving room to go paired with something a little lighter or just sipping . — 6 months ago
