Ungrafted with Lee and friends (Ungrafted, SF): (blind) - medium yellow - hint of color. - cinnamon nutmeg oak. - medium + acid - not super high TA. - 13% alcohol - medium. - apple cinnamon - pie filling - 30% new french oak.
- sonoma coast?
Light and oaky.... Medium acid. oxidative, not reductive.
- burgundy - wouldn't be this oaked without more body and acid. - australia - would be more reductive? probably higher acid too? - Sonoma coast doesn't feel right but the structure doesn't seem consistent with Burgundy
Guess: Sonoma coast 2016 Actual: Burgundy 2015, ~15% new French oak.
Analysis: It was an older burgundy from 2015 which explains the slightly elevated ripeness and blunted acid.
