Community Tasting Note

• mkribar Likes this wine:

  November 21, 2022 - Day 1: deep dark fruit on the nose: plum, a little jammy, black cherry. Some oyster sauce/umami as well. I'm not sure what the moourvedre component was this year, but it's not coming through too much. More plum/cherry/umami on the palate, as well as blackberries and a little ham. It has structure--mostly from the acid, less the sandy tannins, but I wouldn't call it a structured wine. It's big and fruity, but balanced as well.
  
  On day two, the nose is more expensive and richer. Plum skin, fresh blackberries, strawberry jam. A little cinnamon/clove pokes out as well. The tannin is classic contra costa, and outline the sugar glazed ham, bacon, plum, and vaguely rose notes. Really great right now--it's a shame this is my last bottle.
