Community Tasting Note

  • ageverett Likes this wine: 95 points

    June 17, 2017 - Enjoyed at the Futo estate. This had been open for a few hours.

    Really cranked it up from the OV/SL, which was plenty nice in its own right. Very much a Stag's Leap profile for me, with powerful purple fruit and a seamless profile. Great finish on this wine - long and smooth.

    Would not be scared to pop one of these in the near term with a little air.

    Just curious if they served you the Helianthus? If so, thoughts?

    I am loving what Jason Exposto is doing with those sites.

    And for the QPR that Coombsville wine is going to be a nice addition to their portfolio.

    Cheers...
