Community Tasting Note

Sunday, July 29, 2012 - very nice wine, a little black cherry on the nose along with some alcohol / spice, the palate is nice black cherry, bright and alive, a bit of overt oak which detracts slightly and still some tannins... i'm an optimist so will say hold another five years and hopefully the oak and minor heat will fade and the fruit come even more forward... if so this will turn into an outstanding wine... if instead the fruit fades it's going down... btw, i think of the 'oak invasion' happening in CA later (i.e. 2000'ish) but could it have come as early as 1997?
