Community Tasting Note

Friday, February 1, 2013 - The wine is a fairly deep ruby color, lighter at the edge. The outstanding nose has blackberries, black olives, charred meat, roasted herbs, dark chocolate, minerals, plums, black pepper, with some road tar and earthiness. This has medium body, fairly solid tannins and very nice acidity. On the palate the fruit takes a back seat to the savory elements, adding a nice crushed berry element on the mid palate before some savory roasted herbs and meat juices take over. The long finish is again highlighted by the meat juices, olives and roasted herbs with the fruit adding nice sweetness. An excellent example of a wine that puts the fruit in the back seat and allows the savory elements to drive. My style of wine.
