Tasting Notes

Our 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 of the 2005 Vintage

Cris: Lots of fruit but not too sweet. Fast finish.
RLA: This wine goes great with the food. Seems young and light on the pallate.
PS: Lots of black cherry and currants.
SP: Seems young but drinking well now. Light for a Cab but has nice fruit flavors.
BP: Smoooth! Love this wine. I get a hint of watermellon with cherries.
MA: Smooth, from nose to finish. Some earthy mushroom nose but gives way to dark berries and currant flavors. Fast finish leads me to believe there is low tannins and acid. Not a celler wine - drinking well now.
