Community Tasting Note

  August 10, 2013 - 3 hours in the decanter
  
  Color- dark, slight purple brown.
  
  Nose- ripe fruit, rich, with slight floral touch. Very good fruit mixture with a touch of Cali pinot twist to it.
  
  Taste- did not match the nose. Red and some dark fruit. Very good acidity backbone mixed very well with the fruit blend. Medium bodied. Some texture. Medium tannins. Good length and slight bitterness on the finish.
  
  6 hours in the decanter, last pour.
  
  Nose- much more expressive than previously. Cali pinot twist was gone.
  
  Palate- Same flavor profile, but much more balanced and toned down. No bitterness on the finish.

  Btw, we still need to find that time and share a bottle or two.

  NathanT, yes, I need to find some time to make it down there.
