- californiagirl - 07-16-2004 Over at KC's for a few days with the kids, and he took us to the wine shop. Picked up a couple of bottles, this and Downing Family Fly By Night Zin- will post on that later. Very fruity merlot, smells of plums. Taste black cherry, cross b/w dark chocolate and mocha, and spice. Medium tannins. Blended with 10% Cab and 5% Malbec. 14.4% alc. Very nice wine. Should age well 5-7yrs. - wondersofwine - 07-16-2004 Nice notes, CG. Makes the wine sound really inviting. I have heard good things about Canoe Ridge in the past. - californiagirl - 07-16-2004 I really enjoy the wines from Canoe Ridge Winery also, it's a Chalone Winery. That's why I picked it. I was wondering what CCK thought of it. Haven't seen any posts from her lately. - winoweenie - 07-16-2004 Love the Canoe Ridge grapes. Will look for the St. Mike. Not actively looking as I lose interest in buying whenced I done' be drinkin'. WW [img]http://wines.com/ubb2/wink.gif[/img] - californiagirl - 07-16-2004 Nothing wrong with savin' for a later date. Makes the heart grow fonder and the wine taste better! - winoweenie - 07-17-2004 Believe me CG, iffn' I saved enny more I could give 8,367 heart transplants.
