Tasting Note

In 2001, Sullivan Vineyards began collaborating with their current winemaker, Philippe Langner. Trained by two of Bordeaux's most respected ... (more...)winemakers, Michel Rolland and Jacques Boissenot, Mr. Langner has brought extensive knowledge of both viticulture and winemaking operations. Philippe Langner, Sean Sullivan and other Sullivan family members enjoy collaborating in making Sullivan's world-class wines. The family enthusiastically looks forward to continuing this collaboration.Full-bodied dry red wine, medium deep ruby red. Aromas of red raspberries, touch of pencil shavings, developing spicy characters as the wine opens. On the palate, a touch of vanilla mingles with red fruit flavors. The long finish brings the fruit into focus, and supple tannins make for a pleasant drink. Grapes: Merlot (60%) Syrah (23%), Cabernet Sauvignon (17%). Room temperature (70 degrees) is fine, and doesn't emphasize the alcohol. Serve in Bordeaux glasses.

Red fruit really comes through, but a lot of heat upon first taste.

nose: cherry. Palate: menthol, cherry toothpaste. Obviously well made, but not my favorite kind of wine.
