The better kind of knoll!
"Harold, I'm going to be completely honest with you: I gave you a second chance here at WineFancy because your sister owns our publication company."
"I know, Dave. I really appreciate it, and I think the readers are delighted, too!"
"No, Harold. No, quite the opposite. Once again, your 'unique' terminology has led to a whole bevy of complaints."
"Ugh, are you kidding? What are those troglodytes griping about now?"
"First, they seem to take issue with your description of a Cab Sauv as 'reminiscent of puppy kibble'."
"Not seeing a problem."
"Well, as I mentioned previously, it's unhelpful to draw comparisons that MOST people won't relate to. Also - and I swear I thought this was common knowledge - we try to aim for more appetizing descriptions."
"Have you ever had kibble, Dave? It's come a long way over the years."
"Ugh. Alright, so in another review, you mentioned that the wine was 'like a mouthful of dry cleaning solvent, with car-floor pizza crust on the finish'."
"They always say 'write what you know'!"
"Harold, you're either the Forrest Gump or Heston Blumenthal of this organization. I'm just not sure which."
Features
This wine has dark fruit aromas and also a beam of spicy fruit on the nose. The texture is medium bodied with well balanced acidity and a medium length finish. With the nice balanced acidity, this wine should age gracefully for the next 5+ years.
This wine was made from grapes grown on a single vineyard in the southeast section of the Oak Knoll District of Napa Valley. The combination of warm days with cooler evenings at this end of the valley creates grapes that ripen fully but also maintain a nice balanced acidity. These grapes were picked on October 24, 2009. The maceration time was 16 days on the skins before pressing. The wine was barrel aged for 27 months in small oak barrels. The oak was 2/3 French and 1/3 American to promote some diversity in the flavors and aromas being contributed from the oak.
