Community Tasting Note

Saturday, March 25, 2017 - Fermented in a 3 ton open top Taransaud wood fermentor for 14-21 days. Aging was done in 30% new Francois Freres barrel and the balance in neutral barrel for 12 months.
Light decant given.
Moderate aromas offer black cherry and black raspberry notes with a combination of black pepper, mocha, rose petal and a whisper of earth and smoke.
The palate is giving reinforcing the nose with dark cherry, raspberry, cola, mocha, spice, earth and florals. Chalky tannins and a lingering finish.
A restrained Burgundian style Pinot that needs ample air time at this stage to show its best.
