Amizetta Vineyards
Complexity Estate Napa Valley Red Bordeaux Blend
Now that I have calmed down, Im drinking the other bottle of Amizetta from a few weeks ago. This cork is damaged by wine seepage and pressure, but not as bad as the cabernet bottle's cork. I still have not heard a word from the "fine people" at Amizetta. However, this Complexity is much better than the cab due to heat damage in shipping. Which was Amizetta's fault. However, it is sour, puckers my lip. Ill never buy from this company again. Only if Spencer calls me directly and apologizes will I buy from him again. For real though,
Color is dark, bouquet is blackberry pie and Red licorice. The initial palate - after a 30 min decant - is raspberry, blackberry, oak, and mild spice. The finish is fast and mildly dry. Drinks like a Merlot which is 40% of the blend. It does loose the sour beginning but it resurfaces on the finish after the decant.

$65. Yummy. Smooth, earthy. Taste of cherry- but not over bearing.
