Note for Casa de Santar 2004

The color is as brilliant and as rich as a garnet stone with one sexy nose. Rich and intoxicating with exotic spice aromas, rich lavender, bright cherry, a touch of leather and a smoky seductiveness that teases my nose back into the glass. Basically, this wine describes my impression of James Brown's song, "Get Up". The palate is equally seductive showing firm tannins, bright acidity and a lush, silky mouthfeel. It's well integrated with bright red berry flavors and just a touch of smoky tar in the background. Highly Recommended October 8, 2007 | Link to this note
