Tasting NotesOur mission is to provide unbiased opinions of the wine being offered. These notes come from up to 10 guests who tasted this wine in a blind tasting format (wine is concealed so their identity is unknown). Why this format? Tasting blind completely throws out any hype associated with a certain winery, style, price point, etc; it forces the taster to accept what is in the glass without any predetermined notions. Our guests utilize Robert Parker's Glossary of Wine Terms for their comments for consistency purposes. In addition, we utilize the wine aroma wheel to enhance one’s ability to describe the complexity of wine flavor. Notes are posted on this wine during the tasting to ensure they accurately reflect the impressions.Selected Wine Tasting Notes - Deerfield Ranch Winery - 2003 Trio Meritage, Napa Valley
Cris: Lots of pepper. I taste the Cab Franc influence in this blend.
RLA: I got lots of berries aroma from the wine but the taste is all currant and figs. Loved the long finish and the silky texture in the mouth.
PS: Very earthy on the nose but its all berries across the mouth. Nice long finish with only a bit of oak.
SP: Wonderful intensity of dark fruit especially blackberry. Medium body with herbaceous flavors of olive along with pepper and soy. I'd like to jump into a vat of this - it's so good!
BP: Smoooth! Love this wine. I get butterscotch along with dark fruit and pepper.
MA: This wine will stand up to any old world Bordeaux. I really like how you could taste the influences of the Cab Franc and Cab in this blend. I got Plumb influence from the Cab Franc and the dark berries from the Cab. Nice wild berry flavor and a good long finish that never loses it's balance.
