Sipping Fine Wine

9.0

Dark Ruby color with blue and black fruit aromas, slightly floral. The palate shows sweet fruit, ripe blue and black fruit with spice, lively acidity, firm tannins, all nicely balanced. Medium+ finish ending with the fruit still coming through with slight smoky espresso notes. Has good short-term aging potential, but enjoyable now. — 11 days ago

One of the few sweet wines from #Chardonnay that I’ve ever had. I really enjoyed it. I’m a sucker for yummy sweet wines. Leave it to #sbccounty to make this style — 4 years ago

2010. Hung on nicely. Raspberry, cola, soft mouthfeel, touch of earth, hint of tobacco, and acid holding all things together. Homemade meatloaf worked well. — 4 years ago
