Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, November 21, 2012 - The wine is a bright ruby red color. The very nice nose features black raspberries, cherries, Asian spices, smoke, white pepper, spicy oak, and a touch of earthiness. This has a medium body with fairly solid tannins and good acidity. The palate has nice spicy red and black fruit with a bit of oak and some earthiness. The finish has decent length but does show a touch of excess oak and a bit of stems. With some air the excess oak and stems integrate and the wine adds a bit of weight. The fruit also becomes a bit more prominent especially on the backend and finish. I'd advise to decant for an hour or two or even better let it sleep for another year or two.
