"Wow, this is good...what are we drinking?"

So said Corina after she took a taste of Bin 504 malbec/cab last night. I realize that each person's taste is different, and just because one person likes or doesn't like a wine doesn't mean that someone has to do the same. I get all that, but given Corina's discerning pallet and the fact that she's tasted about a million wines in her life (don't worry, she is a trained professional), the words she spoke about Bin 504 were very cool to hear. It was also a huge relief for me because even though I love the wine, I really want others to enjoy it, too...OK, that, and I want to be known as a kick-ass wine maker.

As far as my notes on the wine thus far: I noticed that everything seemed deeper and darker about the wine than just one month ago, when I last sampled. The color was deeper red (I realize that probably wasn't really the case, but it sure seemed it), the nose was darker fruit, and the taste...well, I am biased, and although I still get a bit of something green on the start -- that's not a bad thing -- the mid and finish were deeper and darker, too. Just my cup of tea...er...I mean, glass of wine.

Official release coming soon.
