Community Tasting Note

Thursday, November 3, 2011 - Open a full day. Has a residual chill on it from the cellar so just a bit cooler than room temp. As with my last note, there is some moderate heat in the aromatic, which mixes with the pepper and some sage. The palate is better than the aromatic, with a good dose of pine, citrus acidity, soy and smoke. There is a good size dollop of sage/herb in this wine, which I like, may not be for some others who may prefer a syrah with more blue and black notes without the herbal quality. The finish shows dark chocolate and the citrusy notes from the acid. In sum, with the heat and the presence of the citrus and brushy notes, feels more to me like separate parts that are competing for attention than all working together. There is plenty of acid and fruit here to allow the wine to age so no rush.
