HotCosts 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 tasters are not wine professionals, but a cross-representation of professions where the common denominator is our love for wine. We utilize Robert Parker's Glossary of Wine Terms to help write our comments. In addition, we utilize the wine aroma wheel to enhance our ability to describe the complexity of wine flavor. Blind Tasting Notes - Vines on the Marycrest 2005 Paso Robles Round Midnight Syrah Blend
group notes: Red in appearance, high viscosity on tear drops. Red fruit nose, slight cedar influence. This is a very well balanced wine. Lots of fresh fruit and acid to balance the fruit. Fruity but bone dry! We spent a lot of time trying to figure out a particular influence and finally agreed on cranberries. After reading the winemakers tasting notes, we agreed that it was rhubarb not cranberries! |
