Community Tasting Note

  February 10, 2016 - bright red/ purple
  VEry lively nose, smells like crunchy red fruit with distinct note of violets
  LIght body, lots of summer pudding type fruit, very dry, some tannin and a slatey sort of quality. More violets and a little leather on the finish.
  Quite concentrated, ideally needs food
  Variety is MONDEUSE
  Tastes a bit like a cross between syrah and gamay with a bit of loire cab franc thrown in.
