Community Tasting Notes 28

  June 3, 2023 - Sorry to see the brand be discontinued. Decanted and enjoyed with braised, red wine short ribs with vegetables and riced cauliflower. Immediately, I was drawn to the wonderful balance of rich fruits, mild tannin, and medium plus acidity….something lacking in many California Meritages. Good concentration, but a bit hollow at mid palate. Very good pairing with the food. Mid-way though development with a great mix of primary and secondary notes, not much complexity at this juncture. Decent finish. Enjoyable and appropriate for the meal, but we’ll see how this progresses. Drink now and through 2027.

  May 20, 2022 - 3 hour decant, drank over the evening. Has improved since my last notes 2 yrs ago, cedar and oak are still present, dark cherries and still lots of fruit to this one, bits of cocoa are coming forward. Sadly, this was my last bottle. Would like to try this again in a year or two.
