Found February 2014
Talk about an odd find in the cellar ... I had no idea it was down there or how it got there. I hate to say it, it was probably a wine that was sent to me by the winemaker and by the time it got into the rotation it was sold out; so I lay it down to see what happened. The last one I have a notes of is the 2006 which made my Weekly Wine Note back in January 2008. After finding this wine I decided to take it into my wine class to see what they thought of this aged hybrids blend from this Prince Edward County winery. Here I think they got more than they bargained for as this wine seemed to go against every convention. First on the nose there's a blood orange aroma which seems to mix with tomato and / or clamato juice, plus there's an herbal sensation. Moving on to the palate that herbal and orange mixture comes across and adds a spiced rum cola note that is very very interesting ... all told it was a much better sip than expected, some even asked for seconds. Lost and Found Rating: Tolerable
