Community Tasting Note

  January 6, 2015 - This is 100% 2008 fruit. Deep color, this was vinified in 2 yr old Mersault barrels. The nose is deep and rich, showing flowers, creamy citrus and a touch of honey. This is medium full bodied on the palate, with excellent concentration and richness. The very long finish shows a deep mineral element with hints of nut and oak. This is modern but delicious.
