Tasting Note:October 14, 2017

Third of the blind wines this evening. Super dark purplish ruby red. Tight yet thick nose of sweet spices, graphite and dark berries. Heavy tannins (8/10), this is a powerful wine. Full bodied with tons of dark spices, black cherries and a touch of bark. So strong yet velvety and silky. A bit of gravel in the never ending finish.


Made of 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. Memento Mori means "Remember that you will die" in Latin but to the founders of MM it means "Remember to Live".

Tasting Note:August 9, 2016

Super dark ruby red. Tons of dark berries and baking spices on the nose. Even some molasses or caramelized brown sugar. Moderate plus tannins (7.5/10) with a full body. Almost a sandpaper like texture and solid structure. Dark fruit attack with some minerality in the finish. Notes of blueberries and cassis too. Super long and full finish.
