  • 2005 Linne Calodo Cherry Red - USA, California, Central Coast, Paso Robles (4/26/2010)
    Deep red color, slight spicy in flavor, not overpowering at all. Wine showed a hint of lime leading to Vanilla in the mid pallette which i thought was odd, but again not overpowering. popped and poured we downed this in hour, hour and 10 miutes, so it had to be pretty good. Wine is integrated well now, no heat whatsoever, and I think this is it’s window. Had with a few cheeses, that offset the wine nicely. (91 pts.)

Ken - Thanks for the check in on this. I gave up on LC because their wines were so disjointed when young. Now that I am drinking some older bottles and finding them improving significantly with age, starting to reconsider.

Thanks, Linne Calodo also just replaced an off bottle of '04 Nemesis I had purchased several years ago, free of charge and no questions asked.

I have found the same as Jud the youngin’s usually do not work for me, but give em 3-5 years and they do well.
