Community Tasting Note

January 6, 2020 - Another Year, Another Napa (aka Winter in Wineland IV); 1/5/2020-1/11/2020 (Napa/Sonoma California): This wine is much less approachable than the NVD which makes sense given the winemaking approach. It's a touch more heat, but I think that will integrate and potentially even help the wine with some time. Lots of blackberry again. Very soft tannins. A bit of the sweetness in the fruit. Oddly the slight extra heat and just something else (maybe the precursor to being more secondary) was also there and made me think while the wine isn't ready to drink now, it will be lovely in the future.

1/7/20, 7:54 AM - Yes at the winery, but we were the first tasting of the day and the wines had not been open all that long so I'd say we were awfully close to a pnp. I'm sure with more air this would have come together even more. To me though it also just needs some years in the bottle. And then definitely will be rocking.
