Community Tasting Note

Monday, December 28, 2009 - Gibbston Valley Winery Visit (Gibbston Valley Winery, Central Otago, New Zealand): Dark just-transparent deep rose red. Classic Central Otago nose of cherries and rich violets. Very intense nose that reflects the extremely low yield that year (30% of normal). Has the fruitier, clay-based Bendingo grapes in the mix. as well as the lighter more minerally schist-based Gibbston Valley fruit. Palate is still very tannic and with very concentrated black cherry and some raspberries, dry boxwood on the back end. Needs time.
