- Bucko - 04-28-2001 1997 Guenoc, Meritage, Red Wine, North Coast, California, $20.75. A blend of 52% Merlot, 28% Cabernet Franc, 18% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Malbec. The nose is defined by blackberries, cassis, spicy oak, and just a pinch of mint. Pretty black fruit and blueberry flavors are supported by sweet oak, middle weight tannins, and a long, brisk finish. 87/90. Bucko - Drew - 04-30-2001 I've had it and for me not a good value...maybe I had an off bottle. Drew - Bucko - 04-30-2001 Perhaps, but perhaps it just does not ring your chimes either. Different strokes you know.... I don't "get" most Italian wines that people cluck over, just don't like the style I guess, personality flaw, or maybe it was the picture of WW that wrecked havoc on my brain chemistry....

WW - Bucko - 04-30-2001 You KNOW it is because we all LUV you so much, Verne! So go back to your corner.... Bucko |
