Community Tasting Note

  July 23, 2012 - Pleasantly surprised. Nice deep garnet color. Violets, blackberry, blueberry, cassis on the nose with some pepper and leather notes from the Shiraz. It opens up with some airing and I actually drank this over three days, it was best on day two-three (for me). Nice black fruit and dark cherries for me on the pallet, toasty oak coming through but well balanced. A little acidity and soft tannins with a med to long finish, overall a medium bodied wine that is not over the top and is great to sip with food. My only issue was that the alcohol did come through on the finish, a tad hot. But solid wine nevertheless
