Community Tasting Note

Saturday, August 1, 2020 - Upon opening the fully intact cork smelled of blueberry and leather. The wine has the color of a highly extracted Pinot Noir with orange at the rim. The nose offers up with vanilla initially with baked earth, and ribbons of slightly dried blue/black fruit. The silky and medium light mouthfeel displays stereotypic arid fruit bolstered by a still buoyant acidity with a light scaffolding of Sangiovese tannins along with a flavor of basil on the finish. The long finish delivers sweet and delicate sachet-like fruit flavors that will likely make more of a presence with grilled steaks. Now is the time to drink to drink your upper level 13+ year old Chianti Classico Reservas, as they may well be descending into the realm of wistful memories. Drinking this highly crafted wine is reminiscent of having a conversation with a well-lived and very interesting person.
