Community Tasting Note

Saturday, January 24, 2015 - We decanted this and drank relatively unceremoniously. It came across as a good quality, balanced, not overdone in any way California BDX blend. Not mind blowing or particularly special but a really nice wine. Not a QPR wine but not at all disappointing at the price. Fwiw it drank to my palate better than the particular bottle of Bionic Frog alongside it.

Was nicely integrated already, and not sure I'd swap less fruit and tannin for more tertiary aspects but then again I don't have an old wine palate. It's good wine to be sure; just didn't command adoration like a 95+ point wine does.
