Community Tasting Note

Sunday, September 10, 2017 - Cherry red color. Very interesting nose. It’s a little reserved, so you have to work at it a bit. But there are some high-toned red fruit aromas of sour cherry, raspberry, and cranberry, as well as a sort of vegetal/herbal character that is just as strong as the fruit but very tough to identify. Kind of a green tomato-leaf/tobacco/chervil sort of thing, as well as some miso. Also a touch of floral perfume and a very, very faint funkiness. On the palate, it’s a little more straighforward, mostly fruit, a touch of the herbal notes, and a mineral taste that seems almost wrapped up in or a part of the texture, which is maybe the most striking part—medium weight and refined, but almost like very finely sanded wood rather than the usual velvet or silk you’d normally think of. Hard to describe. The finish is sour cherry and earth, and long.

This is really good. Distinctive, tasty, easy to drink, complex, and just the right amount of weird. I really enjoy it.
