Community Tasting Note

Saturday, March 21, 2009 - Definitely didn't round into what I had hoped after a year of bottle aging. It seems that I scored the one from last year a few points too high. Medium-dark ruby color. Promising aromatically, with a bit of interesting spice notes which included cinammon and sassafras, but a thin, dilute and ultimately hollow palate impression, with only modest fruit and a bit of slate-like minerality. Perhaps this reflects the fact that the estate vines which provided some of the wine for the blend are still a bit too young. Overall, pleasant but simple and one-dimensional; I am in complete agreement with many of the other notes from this great little wine community of ours. The 2007 vintage should really tell the tale for this winery: if their '07s are unimpressive, they'll really need to rethink what they're doing, in such a good vintage and with all the good competition out there.
