Here are two more of the wines from the Red Wine Tasting on May 27th. Life is pretty busy, and I've been slow in posting, but such is life.
These wines were brought by Rob & Lelia.
First is 2003 Stonehenge Reserve Petit Syrah ($11). This wine had a nose that was reported as berry with whiskey overtones; peppery; hot.
The flavor was noted as oakey, with prominent tannins, peppery, thin for a petit syrah. Dorianne rated it #3 of the eith wines, calling it yummy! complex and different, very delicious. So a nice wine!
The Second is the 2005 Tikal Patriota Red Wine ($25). This Argentine is composed of Bonarda and Malbec grapes. The nose was noted to have aspects of tobacco, clay; was noted as smooth.
The taste was tannic, astringent, pepper on the back side, some fruit influence, very deep. At least two people noted a bad aftertaste. Dorianne rated it #6 of 8, and noted rose, raspberry, and pepper.
Rob seemed to enjoy both wines:
Till Next Time . . .
