Community Tasting Note

Friday, December 30, 2016 - Decanted two hours. Nose: has NW all over it with graphite, cherries, blackberries, smoke and tar. Orange citrus is really bright. Gorgeous nose. Palate: medium bodied with bright acidity and fine grain tannin. The palate is quite similar to the nose with graphite, flint, sweet hickory smoked meat, thyme and tar. Boysenberries come out as well. Too thin for the amount of acid which detracts from the complexity and depth of flavor. Has the acid to last a number of years but the thinness doesn't sell me on its ability to approve; it was probably better a few years ago. From a cold, difficult vintage but I've had plenty of wines that overcame 2010 much better than this one.
