critic/Winery Review: Our 2009 Napa Valley Red Wine is deep ruby in color
and displays aromas of ripe blueberry, dark cherry, cassis and vanilla. On the
palate, flavors of blueberries and dark cherry combined with hints of oak
spices that coat the palate. The soft tannins and sweet oak balance lead to a
long and lingering finish.
My Review: For a
wine tasting, how do you get more enjoyable than a red from Napa? The smell had
a nice spice but the overall it was a very even bouquet. The taste of this had hints of cherry but
surprisingly not a lot of spice. It sat
on the tongue for a good 30 seconds but it did not have strong tannins. It tasted mostly of Cabernet Sauvignon but it
is a mix of more than 6 grapes which were very well blended together. It was a great California red that I would
highly suggest to anyone looking for an easy to drink red!
Yeah giiiirrrl 5 for 5. Keep it up!
