Community Tasting Note

  January 12, 2015 - Spicy with wood emerging on the nose covering rather red fruited notes that are framed with hints of green strawberry tops and a touch of candied fennel herbaceousness. With plenty of fruit up front, this starts out rather large scaled, juicy, and plush with sweet cherry and strawberry fruit, along with some sweet, toasty wood spice. Theres not much tannin here, and the alcohol (15% on the label) is obvious on the backend and the hot finish. Falling off a bit on the palate, this feels like the sugar got ahead of the flavor development here, though i kind of like the green herb accents. At its core this is not notably better than a good Cotes du Rhone.
