Community Tasting Note

missatiejacket Likes this wine:

Monday, December 14, 2015 - Pobegad open as soon as the box arrived. This shows a bit of the herbal streak that I've found common with the vintage, but it is balanced by plenty of pure, focused, ripe and tart red fruit, as well as some beautiful floral notes. There is also an underlying aroma of soil and dusty earth. The wine is silky on the palate, and really seems seemless; everything is so well integrated, although tightly knit as expected at this young age. Overall, I think there's a ton of potential here, and I would say John really excelled in what I know was a difficult vintage. I've tasted quite a few 2013s at this point, and this is definitely my favorite so far. There might not be any difference between this and other vintages in that respect. As seems to be par for the course with Thomas, this wine has admirable depth, and a sense of restraint very rarely found in New World Pinot Noir. Lovely wine.
