Having winemaker friends has a lot of benefits. One of which is trying others homemade wine. Last night, I opened the only bottle that I have of a 2005 Cab Sauv made by my friend Dr. Muscarella. I wish that I had saved that bottle. Big aromas of black berry, a hint of mint. The wine danced on my tongue showing a fabulous balance of fruit, tannin and acid with a big mouthfeel indicative of a wine worth aging. On the palate, more intense fruit, caramel, vanilla, finishing in fine smoke and leather. I just had to write about this magnificent homemakers wine. This is why we make wine at home. You just can not buy this intensity at your local grocer!
Thanks Mike.
