Community Tasting Note

  February 12, 2014 - Dark and opaque; surprisingly dense. Lifted toasted notes of oak, vanilla, spicy plums and plush dark cherries. There are spices (full-stem influence) and game character but vintage influence (I’m immediately thinking 2009) dominates; this is very ripe and tary. Very ripe, dusty, dry and astringent tannins with mid-palates of spicy plums and rich fruit. This is resting on the sweetness of fruit and oak. This is extractive and overworked winemaking. Hard to find any characteristics linked to place and varietal.
