Community Tasting Note

Sunday, February 24, 2008 - Deep garnet/red color, starting to show a little bit of age around the edges. On first opening, the nose was overpowered by the alcohol, but that quickly changed with just a little bit of aeration. Lots of dark fruits in the nose - plums, cherries, and dare I say zinfandel fruit! IN the mouth, plums, CHERRIES, black berries, maybe even a hint of lingon berries going on here. Very deep and concentrated fruit. There's a hint of pepper and spice, but not as much as one might expect from a zin this big. And while the alcohol is definitely there, there's nothing hot about it this time round. This wine is really very jammy, and drinking very nice right now. (I just now read my previous notes on this wine. WOW is all that I can say, as this wine has made a huge turn around in the last several months. The question is whether to drink it all up right now while it is good, or see what happens. "Tis the fun of wine!).
