The Vintage Cellar's Review: "Made predominantly from Paso Robles grapes, the wine is full-bodied and silky yet robust, with aromas of black cherry and plum and a palate of blackberry, raspberry and blueberry jam laced with vanilla and toast."
My Review: This wine definitely smelled like a poopy diaper, almost buttery. Based on its pungent bouquet, I was expecting more of a kick on the palate, but the initial experience was like drinking a flat soda when you're expecting carbonation. It had low tannin structure, with a sweet peppery essence over the mid-palate. I will credit it for being very smooth in its transition over the palate, as well as for the mild and pleasant cranberry-grapey-tart cherry flavor from start to finish.
This wine was tasted without food.
