Community Tasting Note

Sunday, March 24, 2013 - Tasted twice with consistent notes, once from 375 at the winery. Probably the best young Cabernet-based wine I've ever had. Fantastic nose of mocha, blackcurrant, and spices. The dark fruit gives it gravitas, but it goes down so easy, without any obtrusive tannin--an outstanding flavor-to-weight ratio. I was very surprised by how forward this was, though the format probably helped. Given the pedigree I imagine this will age gracefully, but I'm not sure it can get much better than this--only different. It'll be fun to check back in some years down the line.
