Community Tasting Notes 10

  October 11, 2019 - One of the best domestic CFs out there. and I dare say at 10 years old, this one probably needs another one or two years before it is at the top. Nose of pink and white wildflowers. Entry with young fig & tobacco. Also black cherry, herbs, and fig. Rather brambly and then a touch acidic on the finish which was a bit of a surprise. I'd probably hold these another year or two, but if you are going to drink them at least give it a couple of hours to decant. I think the entire bottle lasted about twenty minutes for us.......

  August 17, 2018 - Thought I would peek into this one. The initial taste told me that this wine needed to be DECANTED. It was, and oh mama it did it well. Dark chocolate nose laced with a bit of tar and some black cherry. Almost kind of a basil or oregano in the middle but nice backbone of aged raspberry. Finish where it is still even a little bit acidic but it is rather resolved. Showing everything it has.

  January 31, 2017 - Deep red center, red rim with modest signs of age.
  Sweet, plums, herbaceous, tobacco leaf.
  Smooth, red currants, blueberries, green pepper, classic cab franc, creamy, modest tannins and acidity.
  Excellent Cab Franc, drinking very well now.

  September 12, 2015 - So the 10 is awesome. The 11 is good. This 09 is incredible. Soft and graceful on the entry and then murders the back of your palate with just about everything from baking spice to bramble to licorice. Thought I even detected a little chocolate brownie or perhaps cocoa note somewhere in there with a hint of anise. William Harrison, I sound like a broken record when I say that you have set the bar for Rutherford as far as I'm concerned. Nice wine. Glad I have a couple more.
