Wednesday Wine Committee and what a fantastic line-up by John! Typical format of 1 sparkler, 3 whites, 4 reds, 1 dessert wine. All tasted blind.
One of the best 2011s I’ve ever had. Morlet is the winemaker. Wow! Nose almost smelled like American oak was used...not sure if any was or not. Entire fruit spectrum, nutmeg, cocoa, with a lingering finish that was almost mint like. I guessed 10-yr old Ridge Monte Bello...high praise!
