Saturday, May 5, 2018 - With Valerie and Eric. Last wine of the evening - after 2 Aubert Chardonnays and a Kongsgaard Syrah...big night...PnP, drank over an hour
Bright ruby color. Nose of cherry cola, minerals and spice. Palate showing black raspberry, cherry, rhubarb, mineral notes. A bit more viscous than I remembered when tasting at the winery. Nice secondary notes, and smooth mouthfeel. Long finish.
Still very young, expressive, consistent with the 14 Oregon vintage. Drinking well now, should settle a bit with more time in the bottle (if that's preferred?) Should go a while if wanting to cellar...Great stuff
