In this glass this wine was dark red, which is always a good sign. On the nose, big blackberry, currents, black pepper and spice with a bit of vanilla.
On the palate this wine was wonderfully mouth filling with flavors of dark cherry, earth and spice. A bit tannic at first but with time to breath it opens up a bit and the tannins diminish. This was a surprisingly complex wine for it's price for under twenty dollars. Nice lingering finish with hints of mocha.
Guenoc wines are a trademark name of Langtry Estate and Vineyards which straddles both Lake and Napa Counties in the Guenoc Valley. Langtry has different wine families at different price points. Lake County Guenoc and Guenoc to name a couple. They are one of California's top producers of Petite Sirah and Cabernet Sauvignon.
