Community Tasting Note

June 24, 2013 - Inviting raspberry and fresh cut rhubarb aromas. Round entry, semi-sweet and über juicy. Red fruited from entry to end. This is layered with cherry juice, cranberry, with the tartness of the cranberry carrying through to the finish and seeming to wash over an undercurrent of salinity. There is a lingering, tart finish. No hard edges here. I found the mid palate fruit energetic and generous. 91
