Notes...
On this one, we should have let it sit for around twelve hours before drinking, due to the sulfites (from stopping the fermentation).
Sara:
Color--Burgundy, blood-orange, very clear
Nose--subdued alcohol masked mainly by the smell of fruit--grap-ey, plums
Taste--Nice lingering aftertaste of fruit [the bottle mentions that these are cherry and alderberry] but some dryness. Well rounded taste--all flavors are in perfect proportion. Strong, crisp flavor like the color promises. Would go well with fish (blackened or baked and flaky).
Brian:
Yes. Yes. Excellent wine. The sort of merlot that will make all those who've watched Sideways--and been swayed into thinking merlot is NO GOOD--eat their words! It is, however, a light-bodied wine, and anyone searching for heavy-hitters might feel somewhat let down. But screw them! This wine is nice. Light, breezy, and good tasting. Very feminine. Gorgeous, actually--maybe not as refined as some may like but great and interesting nonetheless. This wine should be re-branded "Daisy Miller" Oh my! I think I have the vapors!
