Community Tasting Note

    September 21, 2007 - Deep red but not as intense as it's siblings. The nose on this wine is focused on wood, but not only oak, rather the stemming core of a bramble bush, that holds the black raspberries I feel are behind it. Light plum notes that give way to raw meat, and teriyaki, and faint clove. I need this wine to open more than just a quick decanting and 1/2 hr of air. Full bodied and unctuous with creamy richness evident that oak is playing a bigger role in this wine. Fine tannins and medium acidity with simple notes of red fruits and vanilla spice. This is a wine that I hope develops past the oak and tight fruit. Definitely a wine for charred steak, but I'll wait to see what else develops. 4/5
