Community Tasting Note

• PDXinSEA Likes this wine: 88 points

  February 6, 2017 - Medium dark, lively. Plum and some herbal notes. Needed time to sort out acid/tannin balance that cut short the fruit. Medium plus weight. Merlot dominance never really showed over Cab Franc but perhaps Waiheke fruit expresses itself differently. Some promise in the finish. Tasted with venison tenderloin and lamb cutlets, braised shank, and sweetbreads. I'm guessing would benefit from 2-5 years cellaring. 88+
