Therapy Vineyards

I've always thought of Therapy Vineyards as a bit of a laugh. A marketing excersise designed to trap the consumer into buying overpriced wine. This trip didn't make me change my mind, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't still try them! Remember, these are only my views. Here's what I thought of Therapy Vineyard's Wines.

Therapy Vineyards Gewurztraminer 2008: Stemmy nose showing lychee fruit. Extremly light palate. Watery. Lacking flavour. Slightly spicy on the short finish. Not very good. 55 Points. Not Recommended.

Therapy Vineyards Chardonnay 2007: Nose very toasty, and lacking fruit. Too oaked for me. Slightly spiced palate shows more oak. Average finish. Not impressive. 72 Points. Not Recommended.

Therapy Vineyards Rose "Pink Freud" 2008: Rhubarb and watermelon on the expressive nose. Watery palate showing short and thin fruit flavours. Not very good. 69 Points. Not Recommended.

Therapy Vineyards "Freudian Sip" White Blend 2008: Pears and spice on the nose. The fruit lasts a little longer on the palate than the others. Simple, but refreshing. Average finish. 81 Points.

Therapy Vineyards "Superego" Red Blend 2007: The 2007 Superego is a blend of 63 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 23%, Merlot, 10%, Cab Franc, 2%, Shiraz, 2% Petite Verdot. Coffee and spice on the nose, also showing some heat and an oxidative characteristic. Fresh fruit on the palate with plums and dark berries. Nice spice notes on the short finish. 81 Points.

Therapy Vineyeards Shiraz 2007: Lots of cherry on the nose, as well as spicey peppercorn. Lacking structure on the palate: very wishy washy. Kind of boring. 82 Points.

So there we have it. I really don't have much to say about Therapy's wines except they certainly didn't make me feel any better. In fact, I might need therapy to forget them. Sheesh.
