Community Tasting Note

Saturday, July 30, 2016 - Wow – Can’t believe it’s been five years since the last bottle. Life goes by fast, but this wine is aging like a friggin' champ! Nose: Deep blackberry/blueberry – tons of meat and bacon and BBQ sauce and black pepper and paprika – this is great. Palate: Tannins still dry but a bit rounded around the edges. Medium acidity, just enough to keep the mouth watering. Frying bacon, smoked meat, mushrooms glazed in balsamic, hay in a barn, vegetable garden after the rain, cracked pepper – I could keep riffing, but it’s already ridiculous. This has all sorts of crazy/complex flavors that you can pick out differently as the wine evolves over the course of the evening. Darker, sweeter elements of clove, cedar and mocha are woven in well, and play a tertiary role to the fruit and savory elements. Popped this, decanted it, and grilled some sausages and veggies – life is good, people!
