Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, November 9, 2021 - Halloween in the Vice Versa Cave: A kickboxing production of red and black fruits, tangling with earthy spice and darker, meatier elements that start to fan out mid-palate, but are stopped short at the finish line by a dusty grip. A more classic interpretation, and one I would have sworn was more Rutherford than Howell Mountain, the red and black cherry and currant notes roll in dry earth throughout the profile, with the tail accentuating the soil notes. It’s only hint at its terroir is the beefier element that starts to unfold but is somewhat immobilized by the mineral and loam notes. A wine that needs time to come together, which was even more apparent when served next to the 2016 Abreu Cappella – a much more expressive wine compared to its Howell Mountain counterpart. As for the Posadas, hide it for another 7-10 years. 95-96 points.
