Community Tasting Note

Sunday, March 18, 2012 - This is a solid, but very young wine. Being a field blend (36% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot, 14% Syrah, 11% Cabernet Franc, 6% Malbec), there are several overlapping themes that will probably take a while to integrate, if they ever do. Very oaky, buttery nose of expressive purple fruit and raspberry, charcoal, woodspice, and floral perfume. Very reticent palate needing lots of air to show (this wine improved dramatically in the bottle 2 days after opening). The Syrah elements are most pronounced on the palate, plum and dark berries up front, red/black licorice, leading to cranberry and cedar, with a big-framed midpalate, lots of freshness (almost bitter acidity), and an overall tight flavor profile. I'd be curious to try this in 5 years.
