Quite good
Even if you are not multitasking by eating scrumptious organic blood oranges
By the way I doubt this would be the recommended pairing to blood oranges but I don’t think any wine would, I was just hungry
At any rate the oranges did not detract from my enjoyment of this wine
I opened and sipped immediately but preferred it after it got a little bit of breathing time
It is hearty but balanced
Full to medium body
Oh yes:
2012 SIMI Landslide Vineyard Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
That is what we are drinking this week
Medium tannins
I taste dried plums
Currants, that is what I taste too
I mentioned that there is some oak happening in there yah? oh yah I did
What else? A bit of acidity braces the sides of my tongue, a nice balance to the prickly plushness of those tannins
A hint of cocoa
Simi says make jelly with this.
I say that is not a terrible plan but I’d rather sip it
Do the sip it is good
Scrumptious Gruel
