2006 Nelms Road Cabernet (Washington)

This one surprised us - I'd almost forgotten about this wine in the cellar - but we had it with a great top sirloin of bison last night and on its 2nd night open, the Nelms Cab really opened under the rare taste of the beast. Product: currants, tobacco, and a loamy earth-damp forest floor note that was haunting. Is it a "wonderful wine?" No, probably not, and it wasn't dirt cheap (about $24) but it was delicious with the bison served with a mushroom mousse on top, a side of mustard greens/shitakes, all this over some fake mashed potatoes. Hey, ease up, the potatoes were fine. 89 pts for the 06 Nelms Cab in this case.

This will be the first of many postings on wines, for wine-lovers, and mostly reds. Whites and roses are not likely to appear, so if you enjoy "White" Zinfandel, this is not your roost.
