Community Tasting Note

RGCM Gananda Likes this wine:

Friday, June 28, 2019 - Prior bottle was almost exactly a year ago and my notes remain generally consistent (thank you screwcap). Black raspberry and earth on the nose along with red cherry hints behind. Remains just slightly over medium bodied due to both weight and ABV. Same mix of black cherry and black raspberry both upfront and through the middle. Feels a touch more integrated than previously as the fruit slowly comes into balance. Tart black cherry and blackberry on the backside along with integrated spices and balanced tannins. Mineral, spice and light earth notes on the finish. Under screwcap, this wine evolves slowly, but it is clearly coming coming together as the fruit-forward qualities are integrating with the spices, tannins and tart notes to create a more balanced and complete wine. Essentially the pieces are roughly the same, they simply fit together a bit better than before. This can be a polarizing style of pinot, but if you enjoy straight up fruit expression, this is certainly a good choice. Due to screwcap, no worries about this fading in the short term and should be able to continue to evolve along these lines (slowly) at least over the next 2-3 years.
