Community Tasting Note

  January 22, 2011 - This was popped and poured; in retrospect I think it needed a couple of hours in the decanter. Bright rub red. Nose of asian spices, rhubarb, strawberry. Very acidic on the entry, but with a light feathery texture that made me think red burgundy. Vigorous finish, with a strong sense of rhubarb pie. There was not the level of complexity that I love about Chave, but it was a great wine nonetheless with a good future. I think it may have suffered by being surrounded by so many other powerful reds we consumed, along with not enough breathing time.
