I opened a 2005 Gallo of Sonoma (don't laugh!) Cab Sauv. I laid a case of this away about 7 years ago, as an experiment on aging cheap-ish wine. It was quite good!
I enjoyed a glass (or 3) of World Vineyard Sangiovese with the Joeswines tweaks. I am really enjoying that wine. In addition to his tweaks, I added about 4 oz heavy toast American chips and that was a mistake. It added too much caramel sweetness to the wine. At about 6 months from bottling, the sweetness is settling down so it is becoming a more enjoyable wine for me. Next time, no additional oak and it will be even more outstanding.
original dragon blood, chilled, aged 90 days, have no idea about the nose, but it sure taste damn good....taste like fresh blackberries dancing in the sunrise as the strawberries wait for the morning dew.
Popped a cork on a bottle of CC Showcase Cabernet Merlot from Yakima Valley. Almost....... 3 Years old. Freaking awesome. No tweaks other than 4 months in a Vadai and some extra Tannin. This might be better than a RMC!
