Community Tasting Note

Vinnut Likes this wine:

Friday, March 30, 2018 - Deep, dark reddish-purple in color, essentially opaque. Full, forward, & fragrant nose of intense, ripe fruit aromas of dark cherries, blackberries & plums with overtones of briary & earthy/dusty notes, spice notes of cloves & anise, some pepper, herbs, dark cocoa, minerals & a slight hint of cedar in the background. Full bodied with a very good concentration of well balanced, & still somewhat rough textured, lush, ripe fruit flavors of dark cherries, blackberries & plums with spices, herbs, minerals & dark cocoa. Lingering finish. Drinks quite well at present with decanting & extended airing but has the ripe fruit & firm structure to continue development with necessary & further aging. Indicative blend: Predominantly Zinfandel (40%) with a field blend of Carignan, Petite Sirah, Alicante Bouschet, Grand Noir de la Calmette, Syrah, Tempranillo, Trousseau, Mission, Merlot & more.
