SPEED TASTING REPORT cing Act t he invitation-only Speed Tasting theme was simple: Showcase your most interesting, thought-provoking red blend. Twelve producers ponied up and we poured the wines, blind, for our prestigious San Francisco panel. No matter what the line-up of varieties in each wine���s own juggling act, the question was always about balance. Not only were the key components of alcohol, tannin, acidity and residual sugar judged, but each panelist noted how the wine displayed on the palate. edited by Meridith May / photos by Hardy Wilson december 2012 / the tasting panel / 101
