Community Tasting Note

Saturday, December 4, 2021 - Dang - this is out of control wonderful. One of my 2 or 3 desert island wineries. Absolutely shining in this relatively unheralded vintage. Deep ruby red color. Classic nose of dark berry fruit, meat and earth tied together in a seamless and compellingly pure package. What should a wine from the Northern Rhone smell like? Stick your nose in a glass of this! In a perfect spot today as the flavors have started to mature but there is still plenty of energy and tannin on the finish. A bit of leather. Wow. Hard to say a Chave can be a sleeper, but this vintage might just fit the bill. Wish I had three cases of this. One of the wines of the year. (97)
