Community Tasting Note

Saturday, August 18, 2012 - Juicy dark fruit with black coffee, dry herb, blackberry, leather and menthol. Toasty oak and deep acid on finish. Green pepper. Not sweet but lush. Seems similar to a South African Cabernet in that there is lush new world styled fruit but also a herbal green veggie streak and a lot of dark French oak to keep a foot in the old world style. I recently had a Craggy Range Sophia that had many of the same characteristics. A pretty big wine with a lot of class. A strong and serious wine. Could use a couple of years of bottle age.

Day 3 this wine is still going strong.
