Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, October 16, 2012 - The wine is a deep purple color. The big and bold nose has brambly berries, black pepper, smoked meat, licorice, vanilla, dark chocolate, and violets. This is fairly full bodied with big, solid tannins and good acidity. On the palate the juicy, ripe, peppery berries lead the full throttle charge with nice savory elements providing depth and help to balance out the fruit. The finish has nice length, again with a nice fruit to savory mix. This is big and ultra ripe, but does not come across as overly alcoholic, sweet, or raisiny. A very nice and successful balancing act.
