Clendenen-Tolmach Vintners, B.W. 5107, Los Alamos, Claifornia
from grapes grown at Los Alamos Vineyards
$=? (gift) Tasted January 1985
Ah, what nectar. This was a wonderful bottle of wine. It had a deep, rich,
yellow color. Complex and floral, fruity aroma. The taste? Major yum.
This wine was fat, thick, rich, medium sweet, and fruity (lots of
glycerin?). There were low amounts of tannin and acid. There was great
depth to this wine and I enjoyed its rich flavors. I could have continued
drinking this wine by itself for hours. My one complaint: bottles aren't
big enough '-) I have to wonder what the price was dots I sure would like
to get more and put it away for a while.
Very High Recommendation: Seek and Buy
(If someone finds out the cost of this bottle, please mail me the info,
Bloomington Indiana may be close to the center of the universe :-] but a
store that carries a large selection of quality California wines that have
been treated and stored well is lacking.......)
