Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, May 14, 2019 - Medium red color with onion skin colored rim that gives a hint about the age of this wine. Lovely, aged pinot nose of rose petals, cherry, and raspberry. The palate is surprisingly youthful with woody oak, cherry, raspberry, earthy notes, and a wisp of cinnamon on the long finish. There is adequate acidity that lifts the beautiful red fruit in this light-bodied wine, and the finish still has a tannic bite with excellent length. Overall, this was an excellent, aged pinot with surprisingly vibrant fruit and integrated structure. The tannins were a touch drying on day 1 but were more integrated on day 2. Interestingly, Day 2 brought out a touch of rubber on the palate, but it was not entirely unpleasant. I should search for more because I believe this could go another 5 years. Well done Ed.
