Medium Backsberg Estate Cellars

Definitely a huge fan of you guys. Every wine I've tasted so far has been incredibly unique in nose and taste. Even those I didn't like I truly enjoyed the experience. I hope to try a whole lot more of your selection soon! Fantastic!

Hi Bradley, thanks for the support!

2006 Mont Tauch Reserve Fitou

Love the nose on this one. Definite licorice and fruit paired with a faint hint of fresh wet paint. There's some pepper and blackberry and strawberry on the mouth which is fantastic. Definitely a great value wine.

The nose is not very clear to me, but I'm getting a lot of licorice with the taste. Definitely a good wine, though.

2001 Delgadillo Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon

Wow. Never gotten this on the nose before. Fresh wet paint and cassis. Even a bit of whiteout. Fantastic, and very unique.

Very big and strong with the taste. Some pepper and dark fruits on the palate as well for an overall quite good wine. Definite 90 pointer for me. It's big but delicious.

2006 Buoncristiani Syrah - Artistico

Definite black pepper on the nose with blueberries. The taste confirms the presence of blueberries and pepper with a bit of a long finish. Very big wine.

2005 Rutherford Hill Merlot

Definite graphite on the nose paired with some buttery hints. Very heavy dark fruits when tasting with a layer of vanilla. Very hot with the alcohol taste and not as balanced as I would like, but overall satisfying.

2007 Chelsea Goldschmidt Merlot

A bit of a rubbery smell on the nose with hints of plastic and a bakery smell. Very bitter taste with a fruity finish. Not terribly satisfying.

2008 Backsberg Chenin Blanc

The nose is not very complex, but smells heavy. This is confirmed with the taste, as it seems fruity but very weak and not terribly complex. Overall a disappointing performance for me.

2007 Terlato Family Pinot Noir
(2009-09-15 02:18:00 UTC) buddy icon 2007 Terlato Family Pinot Noir 89/100

Carbonated beef jerky, a hint of smelly feet, and a peach/blackberry mix. The taste carries over the carbonated soda feel from the nose and mixes it with some very dark fruit tastes.

2006 Pedroncelli Mother Clone Zinfandel
(2009-09-15 02:11:42 UTC) buddy icon 2006 Pedroncelli Mother Clone Zinfandel 87/100

Nose is full of peppered cherries and windex. It tastes of deep fruit, but is very acidic and overpowering. Definitely not my favorite wine.
