Community Tasting Note

Sunday, July 17, 2011 - Dark peach with coppery glints. On the nose, spicy American oak and toasted coconut in the fore; in the background, always, the salty summer ocean. Fleshy and round in the mouth, watermelon and wild raspberry, fresh, refreshing, yet tinged with a nutty, coppery, oxidative streak, all becoming ever more expressive as the wine warms. A zesty and very slightly drying, very persistent finish that again evokes the delicate spice and soft tannin of old American oak with length enough for the mind to wander ... to a summer cottage by the ocean, the salty breeze wafting through an open window where sits a cedar box filled with spice, dried flowers, and old lady perfume.
