About the Wine: I have never had much love for Mendocino wines. They always struck me as sort of lifeless and unpleasant. But recently I have found some that have proven me wrong and 2013 is a great vintage. Let's see if Mr. Dolan can "Wow!" me.
About THIS Wine: In the glass it is blood red. Jammy blackberry comes through full throttle on the nose. The palate is mighty juicy with good tannin in the finish This wine has a very viscous, mouth-coating quality. It doesn't linger as long as I would like, which is odd for how massive it is.
Drinking This Wine: This is an after dinner wine. It's too big to really compliment any food that I can think of.
Overall Impression: Between the overbearing fruit and the lacking finish, this is a slightly ham-fisted effort. As such it is a little over priced.
