Community Tasting Note

Monday, October 5, 2020 - Notes from second day open. Very dark ruby color with lightly stained legs, clear and no sediment. Profound nose of cherry/berry, gravel, bright herbs, and light (relative) alcohol. The palate leads with the greener notes before the fruit Koolaid sweetness kicks in with well-integrated oak. Simple, medium length finish. Very different to the 2017 Andrew Murray that preceded it, which was an oak and umami monster. This almost comes across like whole cluster or cool climate with stronger tannins. I guess it's fair to say that the Santa Ynez appellation cannot be pigeonholed, other than neither of these two wines were all that great. 5+11+14+6= 86
