2006 Five Star Cellars "Stellar" $48

Other than being a blend of 5 different grapes, 5 different vineyards and seeing 100% new oak, that's all this wine really has to offer. Pretty heavy on the oak when it comes to hitting the nose. There were a few hints of cola and black-stone fruit but oak was the heavy hitter. On the palate it was big at first but lacked the fruit I was looking for. From what I was told it was oak-aged for 28 months then bottle aged for 12-19 months. That's a lot of oak! Light white pepper on the finish but lacking fruit and was kinda hollow in the middle. Then the price comes into play.
