Community Tasting Note

  April 26, 2010 - Good raspberry and black raspberry fruit, high acidity, good richness, still fresh . . . but still doesn't get from good to great. The finish is particularly juicy and tangy, the acidity is showing high, and there's still some dry tannin left here. Hold for a bit longer and try again in a couple of years.
