Community Tasting Notes 2

  November 24, 2003 - 80% tempranillo, 10% cabernet sauvignon, 10% merlot; 3 months in medium toast American oak barrique.
  A very young ruby with a vibrant purple rim. Huge fruity nose - quite brutish with an animalistic bretty astringency and delicate oak. On the palate, there is fruit initially, then some greenness and a slightly unsettling bitterness, all accompanied by some very very soft tannins. Fair balance. Interesting character. I'm not sure where it's going (if anywhere) or what the winemaker's intentions for this wine might have been. Good.

  May 28, 2003 - A blend of tempranillo, cabernet sauvignon and merlot (80:10:10), that has spent just 3 months in American oak. A very very young vibrant purple. Lovely forward, floral, fruity nose. Lovely fruit attack. Light, fresh, clean. I could easily drink this. Very Good.
