Community Tasting Notes 25

  January 14, 2015 - drinkable, easy; took awhile to get its balance. Not much better than the last bottle. Day 2: much improved; maybe 89+. This suggests to me that another couple of years in the cellar may be worthwhile.

  July 1, 2014 - DnP. Dark red, 6. Intense spicy ripe nose, cool herbs behind. Dry robust palate, some dark fruit. Drink now I suppose

  December 12, 2013 - Dark ruby red in color, this wine had a very pronounced nose of raspberry, anise, menthol and cherry cola. The mouth feel brought a palate of gamey notes, dark fruits and inviting, juicy tannins. The finish was medium and dry with a very nice integration of the soft tannins and raspberry and cherry notes.
  
  At $24US, this is a very good example of New World Rhone style reds. It brought all the elements of The Rhone together with more of what California can offer. I just wish it was $15US so I could drink more of it more often.
