Community Tasting Note

Sunday, June 27, 2010 - DAY 1.
yep. thoughts here are no malo and not sulfured until bottling. i'd like to see this next to the o'shea scarborough chardonnay. cinnamon and baking apple on the nose. bright acid that i would not normally consider to be of California. red apple skin on the nose. the aroma a half inch above warm wet cement. ben's reference to orange bread and jura style are dead on. the finish stands on the edge of the ocean. a rather deja vu inducing saltiness. the bright acid does a graceful cliff jump on the finish and leaves the room rather quietly. this is fun wine.

DAY 2.
quite the turn. first note off the nose today is that of the circus peanut. maybe confectionery sugar is a better term. banana is the fruit. there seems to be an ashen streak running through the wine. the whole aldehydic thing that was going on yesterday is long gone today. the palate starts to show the oak aspect today. palate offers up an interesting floral component that seems married to the circus peanut off the nose. the acid has a pronouncement on the finish, but seems more backed off from yesterday. this wine is shapeshifting. buy, buy, buy.

DAY 3.
back to where this started yesterday. the banana and circus peanut on the nose. that's putting it too easily. more of an italian cookie or a yellow asian fruit on the nose. palate is really, really together tonight. a long, long almondine finish. jeez. my comment on day one of the acid being so high, doesn't seem as applicable today.
