Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, August 23, 2022 - One Year Anniversary CLT Tasting Group (82 Giacosa, 86 Las Casas, 91 Heitz Matha's & More) (Charlotte, NC): 2 hour slo-ox before serving. Almost certainly should have decanted the wine. My first love and the wine that changed my (wine) life. Nose of dark blackberries and earthiness – more Old World than the Heitz Martha’s. On the palate a lush mouthfeel layers into a delicate tapestry of black raspberries, blackberries and cassis. With some time, the hints of cigar box and graphite dustings give this wine a delicious complexity. A savory finish really brings this wine home. A pure expression of 1990s Napa Cabernet before the higher alcohol, fruit-forward more singular expression profile became the standard. 3rd place for WOTN followed closely by the 86 Las Casas and 91 Heitz Matha’s
