Community Tasting Note

Thek Likes this wine:

Tuesday, July 19, 2022 - Purple ruby core color, very light bricking. Nose of ripe boysenberry, blueberry, green olive that is secondary to the fragrant floral, violets, hot climate syrah profile. Matt says it reminds him of the dip stick from fun dip. Excellent aromatics. Medium plus to full bodied with blue and purple fruit, liquid violets, boysenberry, not jammy or ponderous considering how forward the wine is, freshing, medium to medium light acid, silky tannins.

I found this to be best in a grassl mineralite (white) glass, which seemed to compress the floral aromatics in a compact space. The larger cru and 1855 glasses brought out a vanilla profile that I didn’t get at all on the mineralite. Opened with a slight chill and improved as it warmed up.

Fantastic bottle that is drinking at its peak. Great balance, ripe paso florals but good acid. Wish I had more, this is pure enjoyment in a glass. 95-96
