Community Tasting Note

Saturday, April 15, 2006 - The brother in law wanted to buy two bottles of Gaja at the Palm Springs CostCo (please refer to earlier rant) this morning and, while I tried to talk him out of it, here I am tonight tasting this wonderful wine. OK, so I really didn’t try that hard.

Right out of the bottle this had intense flowers on the nose along with bright, concentrated raspberry and earthy, leathery elements. The palate was silky and subtle with layers of fruit, earth, cinnamon spices, and stones. The finish was long and elegant with smooth firm tannins, lingering plum fruit, and spicy vanilla.

Truly evaluating this wine is far beyond my experience but I can say with conviction that this is seriously delicious and sophisticated stuff.
