Jun 26th, 2014Luv Keplinger Rhône Valley Blends! These grapes are from Amador County. Nice to compare it to her Napa blend. Color - med reddish-brown. Plum and raspberry-cherry fruit bounce off the nose with a floral smoke and tobacco scent; some mineral, wet tea and orange peel lingers. Taste is a definite sweet raspberry with some tar, cedar, crushed rock and vanilla-caramel taste on the mid-pallet. Tannins are well integrated and should drink now.

Feb 13th, 20211/2 hour decant (little cloudy sediment). An astonishing medium reddish brown garnet color. On the nose: plum, smoke, sweet Tobacco, raspberry, slightly floral, orange peel. Taste: A smooth mouth feel with some sweet raspberry, tar, cedar, crushed stone, caramel. Resolved tannins and just a medium finish...nice wine, nothing complex, on the downside with a few more years left. Drink em if you got em
