Friday Night Tastings, November 12, 2010

Tonight, there was a full complement of Aunties and Uncles, except Lady Sea and Uncle N, who could not make it. Our gracious host, uncle P, hosted the event offering some incredible wines and excellent hors d'oeuvres. Special guests were Auntie A and Uncle Grasshopper, Auntie Junebug with a cameo appearance of Uncle M. Most wines came uncovered.
This one, the Caymus 2007 is a favorite with the group, a truly excellent wine. Dark red rich creme brulee, vanilla and expresso coffee. Enormous on the palate, a classic, chewable wine. A long, lingering finish; it is too bad you have to swallow it.
It is amazing how this vineyard maintains high quality year after year. An easy 4+!
