Community Tasting Note

  October 1, 2010 - I waited too long to record formal notes on this, but suffice to say it was one of the most profound wines I have ever tasted or would hope to taste. Elegant but masculine, it was at once familiar and unique as an expression of N. Rhone terroir. Suggestions of earth, mushrooms, smoke, meat, blood, iron minerality, and even a touch of fruit, but it always presented these in the wine's own unique paradigm--impossible to compare to any other Syrah I have ever experienced. Unfortunately the experience of drinking it was marred by a terrible headache but it impacted me nonetheless, and I couldn't think of a better way to toast to my new married life that was to begin the next day.
