Community Tasting Note

  June 12, 2011 - Decanted 1 hour. Very elegant wine. This is not one of those CA Cabs that knocks you over the head with highly extracted fruit, vanilla, and tannin. Rather, it kinda lays everything out in a more subdued way. Beautiful nose of currants, blackberries, cigar tobacco, white pepper, herbs, and just enough green pepper to make it interesting yet not offensive. Tannins were velvety, not chewy. Everything seemed to have its place - a very well balanced wine. Long finish. Really complemented the NY Strips we grilled. This one is in the zone right now, but will probably continue chugging along for many years to come.
