Tasting Notes
These pages contain notes on tasting experiences from our monthly blind tasting parties as well as from my own wine cellar selections.
Melville Winery- 2014 Pinot Noir - Santa Rita Hills…
Brilliant ruby in color, vivid aromatics of red currants, cedar and cinnamon stick. Delicate floral notes of crushed rose petal and hibiscus are anchored by more tender impressions of strawberry gelatin, tangerine oil, black cherry compote and baked red apples.
Chateau St. Jean - 2014 Red Wine…
Rich color with a very complex aroma. Multiple layers of fruit and spices on the nose and a nice hint of tannins. This is a wine to enjoy all on it's own. It has a heavier mouthfeel to easily satisfy the picky drinker. A higher alcohol percentage makes it more suitable as a with or after dinner wine.
