Monthly WTF wine group meet up. No true theme this month. Some wines tasted blind.
Tasted blind. Pretty bouquet of potpourri, black cherry, herbs, sweet tar, and ripe fresh squeezed blackberries. Very soft and plush on the palate...sweet red and black fruit to the core with violet and dark chocolate. Excellent! I called this merlot. My WOTN. — 2 years ago
This is a blockbuster of a wine that still needs more time. Nose of cedar & dark fruit, mouthfeel still quite young and fruit still imprisoned by immense structure.
Interesting notes, since some reviewers describe it as Cab/ Syrah blend, and some straight Syrah; my thoughts is those bottles might have had a higher alcohol content and the reviewers were betrayed by a les-than-perfect identification algorithm, or were in their cups by the time they decided to post a review. Great wine nonetheless! — 3 months ago
Outstanding Cabernet Sauvignon. Great nose. Intense, rich bark berry fruit. Well worth the wait, but would be great for many more years to come! — 3 years ago
More air would have done this wine justice. Regardless, started funky, closed down, then began to open with peppery blue fruits and a nice mouth feel, very good wine would like to see what more decant time would do — 4 years ago
Really focused wine, more of a citrusy style, great minerality, lean and piercing on the pallet, balanced with an impressively long finish. Interesting with our dim sum feast. — 2 years ago
Terrific & incredibly balanced. — 3 years ago

You can count on this wine to solidly deliver, especially at its price point. Personally, I like it to open up a bit. Perfect accompaniment with a charcuterie board. — 2 months ago
