Community Tasting Notes (25) Avg Score: 93.1 points

  • -- popped and poured --
    -- tasted a couple glasses non-blind over approx. one hour --

    Gorgeous moderately-aged aromas: red-fruited (cherry and strawberry), with a hint of old wood. No tannins. Medium-high acidity. Red-fruited on the palate, with a pleasant savory aspect. Still in its prime window, which I expect will stay open for quite some time. No brett. Brighter than an '00 Francesca's which was consumed alongside. The superlative showings for this wine continue. Gut impression score: low to mid 90's.

    NOSE: expressive purple fruits; damp earth; hints of crushed rocks and leather/funk; gentle spiciness.

    BODY: garnet-violet color of medium depth; medium-light bodied; slight bricking.

    TASTE: ripe red/purple fruits; powerful, yet elegant; lovely back-end herbal note; pleasant mid-palate specks of spice (perhaps oak-derived?); seamless; plum; black cherry; fig; incredibly delicious!; medium+ acidity; no tannin; alcohol is a tiny bit noticeable; in its prime drink window now, but not tired; I'm not sure there's any room for further improvement, so Drink Now and over the next few years. Truly phenomenal wine!

  • Decanted 90 minutes; minor need or benefit. Reddish brown with orange tinge and approaching translucency. Nose has an almost a rustic red fruit quality, with earth and spice tones that gives it a nuanced complexity. Medium light fruit weight. Silky texture on entry that expands flavor and acidity on the palate. Still with a juicy pinotness behind tamed tannins and secondary flavors. Great match for wild king salmon. Table was surprised to find this was from Cali and shocked that it came from
    Pisoni vineyard.
