Another Wednesday Wine Committee lunch, this time hosted by my buddy @Will Adams ! As always, all wines are tasted blind.

Not familiar with this producer. Color has faded with a good amount of bricking. Aromatically, it smelled “hot” and ripe. Lots of dark fruit here. My guess was older Cali zin. As you can see, swing and a miss. Surprised at how fruity/jammy this was for its age.

Feeling more tired than fresh. Reasonable with grilled hangar steaks.

Expensive bottle, cork, and foil. Still deeply colored. Beany aromas, like green beans and coffee. Fleshy, but not super ripe. Missing acidity to be really interesting.

This took a little time to open up, but when it did the Merlot shone through. Smooth, silky and black raspberry.

Was in the mood for New World Cab and this delivered. Classy, luxurious and vibrant texture.
