Community Tasting Note

Monday, February 22, 2021 - Yanagara's "PF" (preservative free) Shiraz is fermented and rapidly bottled, without any significant wood exposure, herbicides, fungicides, preservatives or other manipulations. Bottled under screwcap, it is a deep ruby wine that delivers a package of blackberries and boysenberries that are accented with dried herbs and pungent cloves. Medium-bodied, fresh and with unnoticeable alcohol (listed as 14.5%), the wine's tannins, while relatively light in body, are quite astringent. Solid on the mid-palate, it proceeds to a medium-length, grippy finish. I would otherwise recommend cellaring of this charmless wine, but there is nothing in its vinification history that would warrant anything other than immediate consumption. Perhaps a little bit of faith in the saying "better living through chemistry" would have resulted in a better product. Drink now.
