Visited the Fidelitas tasting room in search of Malbecs for tonight's event and tasted these:
2013 Fidelitas Cabernet Sauvignon Quintessence Red Mountain
Big black and blue fruit with tannins to match, very concentrated, very evident oak, cocoa and cola, cassis-caramel sweetness on the finish stopping just this side of cloying for a Europeanized palate. Well made but not my thing.
2014 Fidelitas Malbec Red Mountain
Pretty nose of flowers and blue fruit on lightly toasted oak. A crowd pleaser--I purchased it for tonight's Malbec tasting.
2015 Fidelitas Sémillon Klipsun Vineyard Red Mountain
Copying the absolutely perfect description from another taster on CT: "Pear, stone fruit, herbs, and minerals. A loud wine, yet delivering precision and balance. Lively acid, serious grip, generous finish." I liked it so much I bought two bottles.
2013 Fidelitas Red Wine Canyons Vineyard Red Mountain Red Blend
Cedar nose on black and red fruit with dusty tannins, a little graphite on the finish. Balanced and attractive; I bought two bottles for my cellar.
