Community Tasting Note

Saturday, July 4, 2015 - Weak offering in a not-so-challenging vintage. I know I'm coming at the 2012s early, but it's been a few years now, and it seems like the vintage's wheat and chaff have separated for the most part, and this ain't the wheat.

Nose is soft strawberry and oatmeal and the palate is about the same. Nothing objectionable, not too hot, not too tannic. Just weak. Lot of acid and maybe some baking and wild berry spice. Maybe. Finish is fine.

The bottle got drained, but not with any zeal, and I just can't see my way clear to owning more bottles from this producer. The only thing unforgettable about them for me has been the price.
