Community Tasting Note

• blank blank wrote: 93 points

  November 1, 2023 - I don’t remember how I bought this wine, but it’s excellent, and I say that as someone with an old world palate. It has a touch too much alcohol - it’s really best at cellar temp - but it’s no spoof bomb. Reminds me of Clos Rougeard, in that the fruit is dense and ripe but there’s plenty of tobacco and violets and green pepper too; this doesn’t shy completely away from the pyrazine, which I love in my Cab. Cedary and dusty on the finish, nice acid, plenty of tannin but in balance with the fruit. There’s a touch of dark oak but it’s not at all over-bearing. Really great and decidedly gesturing toward the cool side of Cabernet.
