Community Tasting Notes 4

January 30, 2024 - Pretty muted nose, some unripe berries and eucalyptus. Very light/thin mouthfeel, with cherry, cranberry, some herbaceousness, and pretty light oak and tannins. Well made, good wine, more restrained version of a heavy merlot blend, but ultimately not really hitting all the high notes.

June 30, 2023 - 30 minute decant. Dark purple color. Nose is red berries, herbs, spice and mocha. Palate is rich with ripe dark berries with floral notes, spice and herbs. Tannins are smooth and velvety with a nice bright acidity that leads to an enjoyable finish.

June 25, 2022 - Pale ruby with pink hue. Nose bursts with ripe red fruit and berries. Lightly oaked, cedar, and cracked pepper. Entry is soft with nice acidity. A touch astringent. Fruit rolls over the tongue and gives way to some wild mushroom. Finish is light, lingering, and acidic.
