Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, July 23, 2013 - The wine is a deep ruby to maroon color. The very open and nice wine has plums, blackberries, black pepper, wood smoke, melted licorice, dried herbs, minerals, and a slight herbal note. This has medium to full body, moderate tannins, and very nice acidity. On the palate smoky, peppery fruit and minerals slowly adds dried herbs and a nice herbal element. The finish has good length and leans more towards the savory elements with the fruit in the background adding a touch of welcome sweetness. I normally don't like herbal notes in red wines, but on this wine it adds a nice counter point to the dark, smoky, elements. I assume this included at least some whole clusters which added the herbal note. I really like this wine.
