We had Arthur Spencer from Temple Family Vineyards come in and taste us on his wines today – good times.
2006 Temple Cabernet Sauvignon – Black raspberries and plums with a nose of dried cranberries, dried leather, and dark chocolate. The palate was exciting with sweet currant, compost, and dried tobacco, with a slight twinge of vanilla and a touch of residual sugar. The wine was all together in balance and easy drinking.
2005 Temple Cabernet Sauvignon – Big tobacco with crushed rock and sweet candied plum. Ultra ripe strawberries and black currant with lavender and black pepper on the palate. Again with a nice balance and elegant finish.
