Sexual Chocolate
Red Blend
Napa Valley
California
2011
$20
This wine has a deep violet color, many legs, and has a medium to low viscosity. Initially, I smell strong notes of cherry, chocolate, oak, raspberry, and sweet floral characteristics. This wine is TART. It has a very dry, chalky mouth feel and taste. It is a bit hot with a high acid content. Although, it has an earthy, round and crisp finish. As it aerates for a while, I start to get some very savory notes in addition to fruit, such as pepper. This wine, although advised against on the bottle for some reason, would benefit well with a few years on the shelf. The tannins and acidity are not well rounded at this point.
