Red Blend, Warwick Three Cape Ladies 05'
naked wine review 46
wine: Three Cape Ladies
producer:Warwick
vintage: 05'
region:South Africa
price:$20.00
date tasted:7/27/10
place tasted:naked, sitting on the edge of a tall cliff looking out over a large endless body of water at sunset. have i been walking for years to get here? did I fly up? either way, it's no wonder i feel a need to rest. the view was worth the effort though, and i wouldn't change a thing. i bow humbly to the gift of life and the movement of all the wonders within me that think, feel, breathe, and live.
serve with:it would be just awesome with lamb...in fact it is a MUST with lamb; or a funky cheese like the Jamaican 'No Woman'; or just some fine dark chocolate...i went with the chocolate this time round. go to poshchocolat.com for that. trust me on this.
appearance:it's very well dressed and masculine in nature. if it were a man it would look like Vincent Price.
bouquet:heavy French perfume with very subtle licorice highlights.
taste:tobacco smoke and fig mingle with toasted spice. delightfully distinguished and well mannered chewy tannins keep you company until it finishes short and dry on a slightly citrus up note.
balance:medium bodied and very dry; it growls a little but it won't bite you. complex tannins weigh heavy on the mind of the tongue. it also reminds me of milk, but in a non-threatening kind of way.
comments:i had a hard time getting to know this wine at first but once i did i really really liked it. in fact i'm liking it again right now. cheers!

taste: of a chocolate covered cherry sitting in lotus with nag champa incense burning while meditating on naked gingerbread men. make no mistake though, this wine is very dry and well proportioned....it's kinda like skinny people who can eat anything without getting fat. heavy crescent moon shaped tannins rock and roll on the tongue following through to a long, strong, heady finish.
balance:a sexy, viscous, well balanced beauty

Maybe that's a good thing.

served with:Ben and Jerry's Cherry Garcia Ice Cream.
appearance:her bright eyes flash and burn into you with an enchanting ruby glow.
taste:sings in big strong mezzo black currant tones with a dried apricot chewy center and smoldering thick tobacco finish. Features soft, well rounded tannins and toasted oakies that cascade over the palate and rest in a comfortable easy chair at the end of a long and colorful life with a book full of John Keats poetry...quite satisfied with itself.
bouquet:has the scent of your naked muse, smoking a cherry cigar and frolicing in a summer meadow. A truly inspired breath strangely paralleling the scent of the office depot in Lynnwood Washington...in a good way...hum, weird.
balance:phat and lush. Has the coordination and balance of a captivating Parrish sunset.
comments:if I could find a partner with half the integrity of this wine, I might make an effort to keep that person around....Buy a bottle and marry it, cheat with it, or just get a room with it. It's that good.

taste:dry and spicy with an icy blue eyed gaze. Has the lovely taste tingler of the mythical pepperberry as well as a pie cherry brightness.

Give it the remote and let it pick the channels, this one's a keeper.
