ARTESA 2001 ELEMENTS RED WINE - JUST PLAIN GOOD!
I don’t know the official name for the visual process but, when I swirled this wine it moved like sticky liquid silk gripping walls of glass. I think they call it legs or something. Be patient with me; after all, this is the opposite of expert wine review. The visuals actually caught me by surprise. I mean who doesn’t like to look at the delicious and intoxicating. Yet, for the first time, I found myself enchanted by the swirling process. Round and round, I was hypnotized. This wine was alive as a living, breathing, deep, earthy, purple-ruby entity. Its’ sole job was to adhere to the inside of my glass and crawl downward to a slow reunion with the rest of its liquid family. Fun, fun, fun, I thought but, sooner or later, the rest of the tasting process had to continue and to be frank with you; I was scared.
What if, after blessing me with such extraordinary fireworks, the smell and taste were disappointing? After all, I didn’t even know what I was drinking yet, but I knew there weren’t any secret stashes of Bordeaux or any Bordeaux for that matter. I swirled one more time and slowly, hesitantly, reluctantly extended my proboscis into the glass. Aaah, it emanated a rich aroma, similar to a bouquet of roses, flowery, pleasant and very nice. Things were progressing nicely. It was time for the moment of truth. At this point, I had been caught off guard by every aspect of this wine, overwhelmed by its appearance and pleased with its bouquet. What the heck was it going to taste like? I still didn’t know what I was drinking. Here goes everything.
I sipped deeply like a wary gazelle at the jungle watering hole. The first thing I noticed was its complexity. I absolutely could not process it all immediately. This is a complex varietal; I thought. Then the wine defied gravity and sank into the roof of my mouth. The wine was doing the same thing to my mouth that it was doing in my glass, it was crawling. The silky liquid then seeped and expanded into my upper gums. Fascinated as I already was, I wondered, how was this thing going to finish? I waited. The finish was a short chalky berry flavor.
Drinking this wine was like flirting with a beautiful and spicy woman. You see her and are overwhelmed. Her essence is pure femininity. She grabs you and consumes you in the quick, wonderfully vigorous and surprisingly passionate act. Before you can even begin to figure out what happened to you, one understanding is crystal clear. You want more. The complexity is part of the package, part of the mystery and the short but deep finish keeps you on the comeback. The most significant quality of these two vixens, the wine and the woman, is…you want more!
The only unfortunate thing about my tasting was I couldn’t disguise my fascination with the wine. My friends have learned my facial expressions and watch me closely like the grape vultures we are. Soon my fascinating lady was gone. Since my last review I have not been able to get another bottle of vintage 2003 Avalon, Napa Valley, Cabernet Sauvignon and at this time the 2004 does not compare. If you can dig up some 2001 Artesa Elements gobble it up while you can. ARTESA’S 2001 ELEMENTS RED WINE, 79% Sonoma, 21% Napa County, is yummy! It is a table wine gone professional and surely the five years of experience have done no harm.

Wow Jonas... An excellent review... Are you sure you aren't an expert? Is this just some sort of front for a sommelier? Are you the Lewis Carroll of the wine world?
Thanks for the compliment, Zach. All I know about wine is "What I like". If other people like it or relate to it thats great. For me writing about it is fun! And the tasting part ain't so bad either.
As far as myself and Lewis Carroll; I would say our tastes our tastes are quite divergent.
Was just over at your other blog
with the NSA post. I am not surprised that were threatened.
Very few people know about this the NSA's Remote Neural Monitoring program or John St. Clair Akwei's
lawsuit that you referenced on your blog.
I you want to learn how this technology really works speak to a long time target for it -- I have been targeted by RNM for the past
25 years. And the really troubling part is that the NSA has technology advanced enough to spy on every American citizen at once
and since 9-11 is probably doing so.
I am not just talking about reading your e-mails and listening to your phone conversations here.
I am talking about watching everything you do 24/7/365. Using
synthetic telepathy to read your thoughts and manipulate them, and
being able to see what you see
as if they were looking through your own eyes -- brain mapping research has allowed them to accomplish this by using laser technology to tap into the brain
of targeted Americans.
If they tap into the visual cortex they can see the images that the optic nerve sends from the eye to the brain. If they want to know what you are hearing, they can tap into the aural cortex of the brain
and listen that way.
The rights to privacy issues here are so extreme that Russel Tice's testimony is going to be quickly covered up just as Akwei's was.
If your ideas are intellectual property, what do you call it when NSA cryptologists steal them right out of your head?? Because that is exactly what they are doing..
My website for your perusal..

Dear James,
Although this is not the forum for such a discussion; I can appreciate the severity of the challenges you are facing. My recommendation is to enjoy a good book, movie and a glass of wine.
Perhaps Akira, The PK Man: A True Story of Mind Over Matter, and some 2001 Artesa Elements Red Wine. Best of Luck to you.
I am surprised to find such a glib comment from someone who had posted that he had gotten death threats for the info on the NSA and its Signals Intelligence program.
Of course, when the feds and their crew of gangstalkers send you a warning as they have it is wise to just go along with them, unless you want them to systematically destroy your life.
I believe that you were threatened as you say you have been and that you are no longer posting on that site because of it.
But for some of us, keeping quiet about these issues only presents
larger ones down the line. When you Government has been completely subverted, you can either fight to
get your rights back or allow yourself to get steam rolled.
Living in the state of governmental decay that all Americans are at this time, is it any wonder why most have put their heads in the sand? There is that old saying, better to be a live chicken then a dead duck.
Of course there are many such sayings including a brave man dies but one death, a coward dies a thousand.
And this technology is real, is a major threat to the American people
and is even far worse then you can imagine. As for the wine, I would prefer dealing with this reality completely sober, even if many others can't.
Dear James,
I am sorry that you found my remarks to be glib. That was not my intent. As you are fond of clichés, I have one for you. You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make him drink.
Threats or no threats, I have found the world of wine to be much more fascinating, cultured and intelligent than anything having to do with politics or Intelligence. As I appreciate your right/need to express your self; I have allowed your comments to remain despite their inappropriateness to this site.
Now, as an advocate for individual liberty, perhaps you can appreciate my desire to focus on those topics which I find intellectually stimulating as opposed to those I have found to be dull, tiresome and mundane. Your time would be better spent pursuing the justice you desire through appropriate avenues, as opposed to continuously commenting on a wine review site.
There is nothing else I can do for you. I wish you the best.
An Alice in Wonderland quote…”If you want to get somewhere else, you must run at least twice as fast as that!”
I have a case of 1988 Olde English 800 Gold Label that I am holding for a celebration. Would you like to review a bottle???
Dear Anonymous,
I would love to review your Olde English 800 except; I would feel terrible supping on the remainder of your family legacy.
That being said, if you maintain your connoisseur-like diligence; then you will soon be upgrading to Wolfschmidt Vodka.
Unfortunately, that may lead to a further decline in your self-cognizance and abilities as an interlocutor. Of course such a reduction is not possible, if hereditary traits have already performed the service.
I suspect this is so and thus embrace your buffoonish attempts at satire and obvious lonliness, as you roam the web looking to display your literary talents. The fact that you so doggedly pursue such a hobby with such severely limited mental reserves is inspirational to us all. In recognition of your incredibly accurate representation of the human masses; I salute you.
ps. By the way, is that in a can or 40 ounce?
