Community Tasting Note

Monday, January 5, 2015 - On opening, this had aromas of asian spice (hoisin, clove), rose petal, and cola, with plummy / blackberry core. So far, so good. On tasting, very fruit forward, with cola notes, though a bit "sweet" and not quite in balance. Texture was fairly silky, however. Nevertheless, this wine seemed a bit disjointed, with an abrupt finish.

I left half the bottle for day 2, and while the nose and flavors persisted, the wine seemed more subdued and not that vibrant compared to opening. I doubt this will improve with bottle age.

I was expecting a bit more from this, given the hype surrounding W-S's 2007 vintage. On balance, while some of W-S's 2007's were winners, I have generally found the W-S 2007 single vineyard wines are somewhat disappointing.
