Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, September 23, 2020 - Virtual wine tasing with Terry Kandylis, organized by London's 67 Pall Mall club (non-blind): Wine 5 of 6. A blend of 70% Zinfandel, 15% Carignane, 12% Petite Sirah and 3% Alicante Bouschet. Bright dark ruby colour. Rip and sweet dark fruit, high-class dark chocolate, coconut, mint and spices, with balancing acidity, well-integrated tannin and superb length. Full and sweet, yet round, balanced and very elegant in light of its high alcohol content. Dense, well-structured and very persistent. Perfect for BBQ. I am usually not a fan of Zinfandel, but I liked this 2015 Geyserville quite a bit!

Plus, since many (most?) of such organized flights have a theme, knowing all the participants can allow comparisons that would not otherwise be made. ;) Finally, once one gets the hang for how to enter them, the tasting stories are fairly effortless to create. [I've a bunch of 'em, should you wish to check out the basic setup.] ;)
