Community Tasting Note

90 Points

Wednesday, December 9, 2015 - Clear, medium intensity, ruby color.

Clean, youthful nose with a medium intensity. Aromas of dark cherry, plum, licorice, nutmeg, oak, coffee, violets and forest floor. Developing more Pinosity with strawberry, rhubarb and a slight meaty note.

Medium bodied and fleshy on the palate with a medium acidity and soft medium tannins. Massive fruit (for a Pinot) with heavy, but integrated, oak. Medium(+) intensity with flavors of plum, black cherry, strawberry, spice box and coffee. Some minty notes coming through on the finish.

A fruit-driven, powerful and well-balanced Pinot that still has a lot to give in the future.
