Community Tasting Note

Sunday, February 13, 2011 - PnP w/potted pie. Pours dark ruby to clear on the rim, very glyceric. This note will be off due to coming off a cold, but here goes. Humid sweet black fruits, toasty oak and heat on the somewhat muted nose. There's huge masses of porty plummy black jam and concentrated raisin syrup on a full to medium body, fairly smooth before the heat clamps down on the back end. By day three+, my senses are coming back and I can taste the fruit more as described above, and unquestionably this is a zin of enormous proportions. A ripe/overripe sauce like Zin.

The Richard Sauret vineyard is located in the northern portion of Paso Robles. The older vines were planted back in 1985 in limestone, shale and clay soils, while a newer section, planted in clay and calcareous outcroppings, went into the ground in 2000. Both sites are very low-yielding and blended together create this zin.
