Christmas pot luck party, chili cook-off, Rodney Strong... I probably should not have tried this wine after two bowls of spicy chili...
It was definitely smooth, but where was the nose? Where was the flavor?
I reached for a handful of M&M's nearby and then took another sip. I got a small burst of black licorice and grape, but it dissipated very quickly, leaving me wondering what other bottles were open.
However, I looked up this bottle to see what others say about it, and many sources gave it between 88-90 points. Why wasn't I as enthused?
I am determined to try this bottle again with a cleaner palate, without having binged on an array of potluck items.

Roy picked out a Sauvignon Blanc for a dinner party. It was given 91 points, but it was awful! We should have known from the screw-on cap.
Sorry the SavBlnc didn't work out for you guys... but if you win the raffle, I'll give you the Cottonwood Chardonnay. 93 points, and it will NOT disappoint =)
