Community Tasting Note

Saturday, March 16, 2024 - Restrained blackberry fruit and milk chocolate with a nice mineral edge and a lasting finish. American oak and coarse tannins balanced by lively acidity. Medium-bodied and light on its feet, I love the lift here. Super primary. Smoke taint? Not convinced it’s there. Think it requires a lot more bottle age to integrate the oak.
