Community Tasting Note

Sunday, October 10, 2021 - What a crazy amount of red fruit! Cork withdrawn to a very vibrant cherry colored stain. Nose out of the bottle of black cherries and herbs. Poured pretty thick into the glass. Nose out of the glass was really intense black cherry, bing cherry, wildflowers, herbs, very Cabernet Franc-esque. The palate showed a lot of chalky youthful red fruit throughout, very similar to the nose with a lot of herbal influence. A lot of dirty black cherry. Full bodied and quite intense. Well balanced wine with excellent structure. Finished with a lot of youthful toasted tannin with a moderate amount of pepper. This one went very well with a Greek yogurt marinated chicken served with peppers, olives, and herbed potatoes. Some of your unilateral blackberry fruit bomb cabernets would have overpowered this dish, but this one complemented it extremely well. This is a beautiful Cabernet, and only going to improve over the next decade or so. Be in no rush to drink this one!
