Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, September 13, 2011 - Light in the glass and some nice dark fruited aromas. By sight and smell alone, I would expect this wine to be silky smooth. However, the flavor profile is more "spicy" at best or "smoky" at worst. Thankfully the spicy flavor is subtle with this bottle. I enjoyed the wine mainly for its nose.

This "smoky' flavor profile is something I have found in most (all?) of the 2008 Sojourns I have had, which tells me that the flavor has a lot to do with the winemaking. If true I'm not sure if it's good or bad, but at least I've had my "ah ha" moment tonight.
