Community Tasting Note

Monday, November 17, 2008 - 13.8%...Nice. This revs straight out of the bottle...very subtle nose, dusty, earthy scents, underlying ripe pinot-ness, not a "ripe" fruit nose, rather a tart sort of fruit nose - hard to explain...the palate is what captures the imagination quickly, silky, fresh, good acidity, but all about VELVET - smooth...soft but just enough tension - a long finish that doesn't contain tannin to speak of or any sign of alcohol - is that the slightest hint of smoke or game, or the Alesia factor that I've found in the Syrah and Pinots of the past?...this is fun to drink this second, don't think about it, but don't pass it off as less than intellectual. Dynamite and quite the value.
