Hi Joel,<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your comment. <BR/><BR/>I, like yourself, am fed up with cult cabs and other overpriced wines. This wine touted itself as a play on that and I felt it came up short. I'm sorry that you feel it's a shame this post comes up first on google, but I'm sure you'll agree that we all have the ability to choose who we listen to for advice in our life, and are free to try

I think it's unfortunate that this is the first review that comes up when you google this wine. I googled it to see how many others enjoyed this wine as much as we did - and I'm dismayed to see this piling-on thing happening. <BR/><BR/>We had this wine with Christmas dinner 2008, along with a 2002 Turnbull Cab, and to a person we much preferred the Whispering Dove. We had a roasted filet mignon

Would you believe I just got an email from a wine shop I attend advertizing a "great buy" on Dove magnums (engraved)for ONLY $124.99/btl and calling it "cult wine" of the year?

Brian,<BR/><BR/>I guess if you're feeling brave, open it.<BR/>If you aren't, maybe your shop will accept an exchange.<BR/><BR/>;)

Oops. IO just bought a boittle at the loical Nugget Market based on the recommendation of their manager. he's steered me well in the past (a great, sub $20 Potuguese wine, Sogrape Riserva, I think, that was a fun parety wine), so I'm sad to say I bought this one un-tasted.

Mike,<BR/><BR/>You're right.<BR/><BR/>In my haste deleting the comment spam, I deleted a post that pointed to past threads on the dove on other sites. Negative feedback on this wine has been coming from <A HREF="http://www.vinocellar.com/forums/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=120477&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=&fpart=1" REL="nofollow">other boards</A> for some time.

jathan<BR/><BR/>I looked on one of the largest wine forums for posts on Whispering Dove and there was very little that was complimentary. Yes it’s the bulletin board associated with that guy called Parker.<BR/><BR/>Mike

Thanks.<BR/><BR/>If you need something else to spend your hard earned money on now, I <A HREF="http://winexpression.blogspot.com/2006/01/tasting-brunello-di-montalcino-in-san.html" REL="nofollow">just finished tasting a ton of fantastic wines</A> at the same price point. <BR/><BR/>Cheers.

I'm with you all the way. I bought a bottle based on the same hype here in Reno. With the same result as yours waste of $30. Goes to show you can take good grapes add bad wine maker market the hell out of it and still sell it (for a while anyway). Now thier really pushing this stuff because they can't move it. Thanks for the reviews.<BR/> Chris K.

Great post! I really appreciate your candor about this wine and the fact that your tasting notes came from an unbiased standpoint.
