TN: 01 Worthy Cab

zmeuMember

So I bought the wine because of its cute name and the label. Opened today with no decanting and no airing. It's a smahing wine, reminded me of the 01 Neal which I had just a few days ago. The dark fruit is under a sheer veil of tannin and enticing you from the first smell. It has lots of blackcurrant (which I love) with black/blueberry nose. Also hint of chocolate and eucalyptus. It tastes according to the smells, and the tannins are bitterwseet (which I like) but without the oak vanilla notes that one would expect, given the sweetnes. Overall 93 points with room to grow and at $24 a great find. I will get 6 more tomorrow.

FYI: I've not had this, but I'm told that it is the second wine of Eglehoff. My friend tried to convince me to get this -- I got a couple of bottles of Pinot instead. Next time I go back I'll pick one up, though. Hell, if it reminded you of Neal...

It is the second wine of Axios, which is made by Bob Egelhoff. Where can one find this stuff?

I'll bring some next week to the off-line. It is the second lable for Axios and Dennis Franz likes it better even though its about $25 compared to the Axios at $80+.

capitolkat,

Im looking forward to tasting it on Tuesday if you bring it. I haven't really looked for any, but if it is that good, I might just have to see if I can find some.

When in doubt, open another bottle.
