2005 Trentadue Winery Old Patch Red

**2005 Trentadue Winery Old Patch Red (USA, California, Sonoma County)** The nose had gobs of black currant and pepper, with notes of cherry, chocolate, spice, and vanilla. The palate was very smooth, with some nice powdered chocolate, pepper, black currant, cherry, and a tasty spicy vanilla finish. It did have a touch of heat at the end, but not a lot. (88 pts.)
