Community Tasting Note

Monday, March 13, 2023 - This integrated and minty Cabernet blend is a bit past its prime, but it's tasty and intriguing nonetheless. Like watching a familiar movie, I see certain landmarks - e.g., the dill from the American Oak, the damp and spicy notes from the Santa Cruz Mountains - but this wine deserves to be tasted as of this moment. Some wines get old; others mature: this has done both, but, as of right now, it's a wine worth drinking.

Pomegranate in color and medium in body, the wine offers aromas of black cherry, eucalyptus, oregano, and tapenade. The flavors meld together, with seamless notes of dried blueberry, leather, and peppercorn, with a savory finish that has lost some of its verve. Blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Merlot, 4% Petit Verdot, and 3% Cab Franc. 12.9% alcohol. Give it an hour or so to open up, and do mind the sediment. Drink in the next few years.
