Very pretty cranberry & crimson edges. Not very brooding. The nose has some dark currant, rose petal and black cherry. There is a medium body mouthfeel that is very rich and plush. Very plush. There is a tiny touch of heat that quickly dissapated with some air (I popped and poured). Then some chewy tannins with a clean and pure acid level (Steaks?). This has all the stuffing of a world class cabernet. A decent elegant finish completes this nicely.This is my favorite retailers (Gary's NJ) own label and he will tell you on his website that he is 'unable to tell you where it comes from'. I can tell you that the back label says Girard, and I'm thinking more Rudd. A great deal with tons of upside for the next 2-5 years drinking.

Thanks Mike, I have been wondering about this. It does indeed sound like Rudd.
Have you had the earlier Go Figure Cabernet release?
By the way, Gary should really put some thought into another name for this line.

Ray, I did. I had 6. This one's a different beast altogether. A yaer in the bottle should smooth this one nicely.
there's a code for an additional 15% off. email me if you want it. plus free shipping)
I'd like that code for the 15% off plus free shipping.
Can you email me the code?
I just had some 2006 Le Volte and the 06 Innisfree delivered, and they are great! Can't wait to try the GF 2005.
Best,
David
