I think this quote from Joe Roberts pretty much sums it up: "At first I got a little smoked meat on the nose, like how you might smell after eating a Bacon Explosion. Dark, ultra-concentrated fruit. The fruit is massive but it’s friendly, and you can smell the structure in this wine. It comes to you like a friendly fat guy in a perfectly-tailored 3-piece suit. This is Santa Claus on his day off, hosting a dinner party – that kind of friendly. There is dried plum / prune action all over the place, but there’s so much else going on it’ll make your head spin. Concentrate on one aspect, and it goes deep – like the black pepper; really hone in on it, and I swear to god it will practically make you sneeze there is so much pepper. Hone in on the licorice and you’ll feel like you just popped open a bag of some kind of high-end black Twizzlers at the Cineplex… you get the idea.
And this is before I’ve even tasted it.

In your mouth, it’s dense. The black fruit carries itself all the way through to the finish, which is plenty long, and it’s approachable now because the tannins are grilled-fig-wrapped-in-bacon chewy. But they (the tannins, not the figs) give you just enough kick at the end, which reveals the whole point, unfolding in front of you like a treasure map that finally points you exactly where you need to dig: the balance of structure and intensity of fruit. It’s almost a mind-f*ck, those last few seconds just get you right into the brain of the winemaking staff at Cornerstone."

Track Twitter Trends With These 15 Apps

1. Twitter Search: The simplest way to see trends on Twitter is on their official search page. Hot trends on Twitter appear on the search page and on the Twitter homepage, and clicking any will bring up a feed of the public conversation.

2. Twist: For those who are visual, Twist provides a graphical interface to see trends and keywords on Twitter. It not only lists out the hot trends over the last few hours, days, and week, but it provides embeddable charts and the ability to compare trends.

3. Monitter: Monitter is one of the best ways to track trends in real-time. Type in keywords and it will automatically update with the most recent tweets containing those terms. Add or remove columns to give you the right amount of information.

4. Hashtags.org: The popular webpage on Twitter hashtags also provides graphs on hashtag use just by hovering over the hashtag. There are also pages that show the most popular and newest hashtags, but their uptime is unreliable.

5. Tweetmeme: Looking for the most popular links on Twitter? Tweetmeme is the epicenter link sharing on the service.
