Community Tasting Note

hosscrow Likes this wine:

Tuesday, July 14, 2020 - The first aspect of this wine that I notice is the restrained SLH cola aroma which, in excess, spoils many SLH PN. In this wine, the cola adds complexity. Medium dark ruby red, all the way to the rim-plenty of extract. Cola, tart cherry, clove and a bit of pine bark on the nose. Restrained nose and palate which adds elegance to this wine when I find many SLH wines over the top. Full mouthfeel, medium + acidity, maybe a bit of sour cherry or tartaric acid. Very soft tannin, no smoke or vanilla. A medium finish with a hint of bitter expresso. More complexity than many SLH, Gary's vineyard is right in the middle of the AVA near the excellent Tondre and Soberanes.
