This one was offered to me last night and i thought it would be a good time to try it. the color is very dark, almost black in appearance adn the nose is rather muted for what was to come. On the palate though, this is not a boring wine. Whether you like it or not is up to you but there is plenty goign on. First a rather unfamiliar grouping of herbs and berries for me, followed by a very creamy blue cheese sensation. Finish was medium plus and not unpleasant. My friend like this wine a lot and I'm more impartial. Certainly interesting and not bad but not sure I wanted a second full glass either.]]>

There's a wine/liquor store several miles from my home which I haven't visited for several years as they had problems with selling untaxed cigarettes and some illegal gambling issues. Recently I learned that the business was sold to new owners of Indian nationality and I thought I'd stop in and check the place out. The store has a large wine collection and different shelving has been put in place with every bottle standing straight up. The wines are also not grouped by varietal, region or color, except merlot, very strange, so one just walks the aisles looking at every bottle. There are many older bottles, 5 to 10 years old from good to very good wineries. So I'm strolling the middle aisle and spot the above lone bottle at $13.99 retail so I grab that along with a 2002 Wolf Blass gold label shiraz as my two purchases. The S2 was wonderful, full throttle, in your face, larger that life cab with deep blackberry and black fruits flavor, hints of Chambord, tar and dark chocolate. Initially a touch of heat from the 15.9% Alc/vol which calmed down after some time in the glass. The S2 was rich, somewhat rustic and fun to visit but I wouldn't want a steady diet of this monster...fun for the moment though.

It turned out to be the perfect matched for broiled kielbasa with mustard and horseradish; along with some rustic succotash. Yum, yum for a rustic supper!

It came with a screwtop.]]>

We matched it with tenderloin steak, seared and roasted 10 minutes at 400 degrees F; baby Yukon Golds roasted with bacon fat and sliced Brandywine tomatoes from the garden. Wonderful Saturday night!]]>
