Community Tasting Note

  March 19, 2011 - stored at 55 degrees since winery delivery/decanted for 4 hours, drank over 4 hours/color- magenta w tons of legs and a meniscus surrounding the bowl/nose- tart raspberry and etoh/taste- this wine did not budge an inch over an 8 hour period, tart sour raspberry and cherry capri-sun, dried wood, acidity and alcohol w a touch of spice, harsh is how i describe it/finish- dried wood, acidity, tannins, alcohol, slight hint of sour raspberry.
  
  perhaps this was too soon to pop this, but based on this tasting i do not see how the fruit will ever be able to show itself in the presence of the off wood (not milkshake like a napa cab, but more of a harsh, astringent cedar), alcohol, and acidity. hopefully this is at a bad stage and additional (2+ years will be my next experiment) time will help it come together.
