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.Tasting Notes - Schug 2003 Carneros "Heritage Reserve" Merlot
DK: Nose shows fruit but opens up nicely to a woody/earthy smell. I tasted a bit of pepper/spice as it aged in my glass. Opens up well.
DAV: Lots of fruit in both the smell and flavor of this wine. Had a good spicy taste to it as it aged a few minutes in my glass.
MS: Smelled and tasted lots of fruits and berries. Great wine to hold for 2010 to celebrate the first 2000 decade.
SS: Took about 10 minutes in the glass for me to get the fruit, mainly strawberry.
