On the merlot - fruity, Megan liked it. a bit spicy. what Megan is calling earwax flavor.
The tasting menu said, "Aged for 24 months in eastern European oak, it has classic aromas of blackberry and plum and rich flavors of dark, ripe fruit. Limited production - 25 cases; great aging potential with proper storage. $30.95 per bottle".
April, Megan, Henry, Amanda, Sarah, and Andi visited as part of the Ricca Family Reunion. The particular trip for these notes was 2018.
Notes from tasting:
2016 chambourcin - sweeter than wanted, a bit sour, a bit watery - perhaps high in tannins
2015 seyval blanc - smooth and smells good. tart. like a sauvignon Blanc
2016 Cabernet Sauvignon - Megan says it was medium-water. tastes not sweet or sour. Kind of an earwax flavored wine. April thought it was okay, but very light for a cab sauvignon
2016 skeet's revelry - Megan liked it. inoffensive. drinkable, but a bit sour
2016 cetiri - basically the same as the skeet's revelry
2016 merlot - fruity, Megan liked it. a bit spicy. what Megan is calling earwax flavor.
