Winery Review:  90 Points, Robert Parker

“The 2008 Senda 66 spent 8 months in new French oak. Purple/black in color, it sports a fragrant nose of spice box, lavender, blueberry, and blackberry. Smooth-textured, layered, and remarkably rich on the palate for its humble price, this lengthy effort will drink nicely over the next 5-6 years.”

My review:  This wine was very dark and had a violet hue.  The smell was very sweet again: full of strawberries, raspberries, sugar, and Twizzlers.  The texture was super smooth almost like silk.  That feeling quickly disapated and the wine became very tannic and acidic.  The wine was more of a textural experience than one of taste.  This wine was OK but not my favorite.


I tasted this wine on its own without food.
