Community Tasting Note

  August 21, 2013 - Popped and poured. A bit disappointing. There just wasn't the oomph I expect in HS.

The 2009 vintage seems to be a strange one on the central coast. Booker, Torrin, and Epoch 2009's have shown very little development since bottling, while some HS and McPrice Myers I've tasted recently seem to be falling apart already. I plan to pop a 2009 HS OTR soon as I'm curious see if this is isolated to the Larner or more widespread. We shall see...In the meantime, keep tasting and writing the great notes!
