Community Tasting Note

Thursday, January 27, 2011 - Slow O for 3 hrs. I've had this wine about 7 times now since release and this was the poorest showing yet, hence no rating. Lots of candied cherry, approaching a cough syrup state, but it seemed to come and go. I've really enjoyed this wine over the years and have found it to be consistently good and always a solid QPR. I've got one more left that I hope returns me to the purity and structure I so admire about this affordable, well-made Cab. 14,5% abv

edit: day 2, this did a near about face when served at 65F, very pure, very smooth and rich on the back palate. Attractive for the first glass, but it began to change as the wine approached 69F. A temperamental sod :D
