Winery review: 13.5% alc., $45. A tall, very heavy bottle. Clones 777, Wädenswil and 115. The winemaker is Ken Wright. · Moderate reddish-purple color in the glass. Savory nose offering aromas of mushrooms, wet leaf, oak and pharmaceutical notes with dark red cherries and berries in the background. Redder fruits are featured with a touch of blueberries, pomegranate and spice. Fairly silky on the palate, but exhibiting firm prodigious tannins, finishing juicy with a bright nerve of acidity. The fruit is buried in the tannins at present. Good. Reviewed January 12, 2012 ARTICLE »
My review: Overall, I found this wine to be too thick for my taste. The heaviness of the wine does a good job covering the taste of the alcohol. but the heavy oak taste was not to my liking. I was able to try this wine with food and found it to be more of a wine that you drink without any food being coupled with it. I would not recommend this wine. I even left like the mid palate was overwhelming.
