Community Tasting Note

  • cacastine Likes this wine: 92 points

    March 27, 2023 - Appearance is medium purple, slightly chalky and hazy. Developed, leggy. Nice aromas of bramble, strawberry, cherry, cinnamon, that likewise translations to the palate with hints of burnt orange peel, new leather, tobacco smoke and meat. Medium acid and tannin make for a mildly hot, somewhat stern mix that I am enjoying, the tannin is integrated but still grippy on the front of the palate a little bit. Finish is nice and has some length and allows the wine to mellow a touch and lean into its fruit and some vegetal characteristics a little bit. This is still drinking really nice right now, has a couple years left for sure. A nice, well structured and complex wine from a solid regional vintage.
