Community Tasting Note

  • The Vines That Bind wrote: 93 points

    October 10, 2015 - Still deep garnet in the glass. Far more powerful than expected right out of the gate with a big nose of dark cherry, vanilla, and bourbon. Huge fruit presence with juicy and approachable tannin. The wine was very alive and changed over three hours. The fruit starts to take on notes of fall leaves, dry leather, cured meats, jerky, black currants, and roots. Gravel and stony minerals emerge as well. Notes of doughy rhubarb pie, black truffle, soft raspberry, thin top soil, and iron linger in the final sips.
