Tasting Notes
Tasting Notes
Robert Parker 91
The 2017 Asterisk has a medium to deep garnet-purple color and expressive notes of baked plums, blackberry compote and red currant jelly with hints of potpourri, oolong tea, tapenade and truffles. The medium-bodied palate offers mouth-coating black and red fruit preserves with a velvety texture and lovely freshness, finishing on a lingering fragrant earth note.
Anticipated maturity: 2021-2032
James Suckling 94
Plum with some mushroom, bark and cedar on the nose, following through to a medium to full body with polished, firm tannins and a delicious, juicy finish. Normally half merlot and cabernet franc. Drink now or hold.
Jeb Dunnuck 94
Moving to the wines from bottle, the 2017 Asterisk offers a dense purple hue as well as a sweet nose of crème de cassis, mulberries, brambly herbs, chocolate, and toasted spices. Fruit-forward and charming, it still has ample mid-palate depth, ripe tannins, and beautiful balance. I don’t think it’s going to make terribly old bones, but it’s going to drink beautifully for at least 15-20 years.
Anticipated maturity: 2021-2041
