Community Tasting Note

Saturday, November 18, 2023 - Nose screams out of a forested mountain side on the Pacific coast. Leaf litter, distant ocean mist, light rain in the trees. Bits of fresh mushrooms, and cedar.

Palette is incredibly silky and cool to start. Opens up into blackberry bush, green stem, and some very dark, astringent fruit, and black cherry. Still with rigid structure, but elegantly expressed. Grips and lingers into the finish starting with black cherry and progressing into dried black currant, with a bit of cedar powder. The saline notes of the ocean persist through the palatte and come forward in the lingering finish.

Beautiful, mature California Cabernet. Old and refined and IMO, perfect.
