Re: Napa Valley wine trip trip report
i tried some wine tonight with bakku, death donkey and stinkypete:
2005 winner's tank shiraz. smells like raid, tastes worse. astringent is the first word that comes to mind. not much else going on here just a rubbing alcohol flavor. really really bad. did not improve after a few hours.
2001 aries los carneros merlot. more of the lysol astringent tone going on here, this one opened up a but after 3 hours but was still basically undrinkable swill.
2004 evesham wood seven springs pinot noir. boring pinot, very traditional and floral nose and taste. not awful but not embraceable either. 85 points.
2004 melka CJ cab sauv. cocoa puff/coffee/mocha nose as always, little chalky but great long finish. 91+ points. need to restock on this one.
