Dan Aykroyd - Discovery Series
Producer: Dan Aykroyd
Name: Discovery Series
Vintage: 2007
Varietal: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot
Region: Niagra Peninsula, Canada
Price: ~ $14 Remember the Blues Brothers? Fairly famous blues band/sketch that everyone loved from the late 70s to the 80s? Yeah, this wine is nothing like that. You would expect it to be a down-and-dirty, bold but smooth wine to match the rhythmic blues of the band. But it doesn't. And if it doesn't, then there shouldn't be a stage mic on the label. Just doesn't even make sense. I get it Dan; you like blues and wine. But in your case it is not a good match (your no Greg Norman). Along with a clear and thin appearance, the bouquet smells of spice and dark cherries and has a slight mineral or stone scent. It tasted of oak, blackberries and spice with a quick dry finish. The tannins were a little sharp and the overall body of the wine was too thin for my liking. I think that the ingredients are there to produce a pretty good wine but the 2007 vintage is not doing it for me. Sorry Danny, maybe try Coneheads 2? J
