November 29, 2015 - Popped the bottle a couple of days ago and left it alone (minus a dram) until tonight.
Still kind of tight, with assertive acidity and fruit tannins. First taste made me think of Bojo, but, two days later, I find a different wine.
Light-medium body, medium tannins. Nose is an awesome floral, berry preserves-kinda thing. I always love the aromas in Mr Wallace's wines. Palate delivers a very primary red cherry-skin flavor. The balance of acids and tannins is the White Oak Flats' strength at this young age.
I want to chug the bottle, but a part of me feels guilty for killing it at such a young age. You have no business popping a bottle of this wine for a couple more years!1,861 views
