03232022 Quickie Update:
Hey there, Peeps! I opened another bottle of the 2018 I had resting in the cellar. Just wanted to pop in to let you know it is quite an amazing wine. Still silky smooth, and delicious! If you have not tried this gem of a red blend yet, why not? The 2020 vintage is available, so make sure you grab some!
Bas vers le haut!
Original Post:
I recently received a wine I am pretty sure I have tried outside of NakedWines.com from DRG (his Colby Red) and have always loved it, so while it may not be called the same here, it sounds like WE now get to buy this great wine directly from Nakedwines.com. Score! So, this may be a bit of a spoiler then, eh? Well, let's see how the 2018 vintage tastes!
The color in the glass is nice bing cherry skin to flesh as it thins out to the edge.
Sniffy sniff time – so many fruits on the nose, with cherry, plum, blackberry, and nice spices, like clove, with a "cabin in the woods smell" finishing it off (likely the oak, but makes me think of the cabin, Peeps). Smells awesome!
Tasty Taste time – Silky smooth texture upon entry to the palate, with much of the same fruit carrying onto the palate as well, general savory notes from the oak, with some hints of mushroom as well. Medium tannins, and acidity, with a the smoooooth velvety texture continuing through the finish, with a touch of cassis, and black tea. Amazing!
As you likely guessed - I would be hard pressed to not enjoy a wine blend I have enjoyed before (and if Daryl surprises me and says this is not that wine, then kudos on a 2nd blend that is another favorite)! If you love red blends, you MUST try this wine! If you don't like red blends, try it anyway - as you will be helping to heal hearts all over the country! Sweeties - you may not like this one, true, as it could be too dry for you, but maybe try it as well, or share it with some friends. For $11 a bottle, what's not to like? 5 hearts!
Time to bottle this one up...remember you are in the #1 BEST PLACE at Nakedwines.com (according to USA Today and ME), and one of the 10 best wine clubs (so says Wine Enthusiast and ME) - for the year 2019…Let's do it again in 2020! Bas vers le haut!
