Community Tasting Note

    September 18, 2014 - I’ve heard of wines being in their “dumb stage” early in their bottled life, and I’m wondering if that’s what I have here. It doesn’t seem to have much verve or integration. This is a wine that does not blow me away with fruit. There are some hints of cherry, but mainly I get a mineral or stone flavors. Gripping tannin and some acid tartness. Actually, my kind of wine because I don’t feel like I’m drinking Kool-aid, or cough syrup. We will check back on this one next year.
