Sandstone Cellars II - 2005: Sandstone Cellars; Mason, County


This well aged red wine is super delightful treat for your honey.  It is a Touriga/Mouvedre/Syrah blend with a little bit of five other grapes which are all sourced from Mason County.  There is that strong aromatic scent that only enhances your anticipated tasting experience.  The wine is a good dry deep red, with peppery notes  in the middle, and a long smoky finish at the end.  It's very well balanced from beginning to end.  It also has managed to retain its deep red color for its age.  The quality of the wine has held up very well over the years and could have easily lasted a little longer in the cellar. We were very happy to enjoy this one recently and note how well it tasted for its age as well as how well it aged. WOTM fans will be very pleased with this one! This was fabulous with a rich Italian dinner and would likewise pair nicely with steaks. Cheers!
