Tasting note on Linne Calodo

2004 Linne Calodo LC Red, Rising Tides - Paso Robles
I have not had great experiences with Linne Calodo wines, but this was one of the best yet. We drank this bottle with delicious lamb meatloaf and sauteed mushrooms. The nose was floral with layers of ripe fruit and wet stones. Reminded me of Chateauneuf, but replace the anise quality with very ripe fruit. The alcohol is 15.8% on the label, but this was not a hot wine. Nice balance on the palate with very pure dark fruit and a touch of sweetness. I would buy this wine again.
