Community Tasting Note

VlgJeff Likes this wine:

Sunday, July 3, 2022 - Decided to decant this bottle based on some mentions in previous TNs. Followed the wine as it continued to open (fruit/acid balance) and "flesh out". At about an hour and a half it was ready to go. The color was a medium to deep purple. The medium to plus bodied palate showed lots of black fruit along with a good deal of red fruit, gobs of spice, some earth, and juicy acidity that nicely balanced all of that fruit. No trace of oak, tannins, the 14.5 % abv, or the usually present RRV "cola". Just a solidly impressive 10+ year old Pinot wearing its big boy pants. Should hold for at least another few years -- but give it AIR.
