Community Tasting Note

  • tb_baltimore Likes this wine: 87 points

    April 10, 2015 - Not sure why my taste on this is off relative to the other reviews. Perhaps my expectations were too high. I opened this due to it being marked as at peak maturity on the Tablas Creek Vineyard Chart. To my taste it's possibly past maturity. We started it cold (close to the blog entry mentioned by another reviewer). It felt a bit flat, both at the start and as it warmed up. It was much worse, almost tasteless, on the 2nd night, to the point where it felt good that we'd opened it when we did and hadn't waited longer. Still, an enjoyable wine, just not at the level of other whites from Tablas Creek, at least to us right now.
