Community Tasting Note

91 Points

Friday, March 1, 2024 - 78% Merlot and 22% Cabernet Franc, 30% New Oak. The nose is dominated by oak notes of chocolate, tobacco and cedar. The palate is more fruit driven. It’s plummy and ripe with silky textures. Medium-low acid. There are still tannins to resolve without food, but it’s ok with food. The 15.5% alcohol is felt down the throat and not on the palate, but it’s barely holding it in. It has the texture and fruit profile of higher-end Bordeaux but for a lower price and ultimately less precision and intensity.
