Community Tasting Note

• Tim Heaton Likes this wine:

  August 11, 2017 - I think my first eight words were all the same, "wow!". Very content to sit and smell this for (ever?) several minutes; it's clear this is just winegrowing/winemaking on another level. Bright and energetic, this is classically built, with great weight and energy to the medium body. Deeply sapid, this wine just pulses with energy. Pomegranate, strawberries, limestone, soil, cherries, etc. Fantastic. You need at least a case. Plus magnums. Should continue to evolve for 15-20 years.

  10/7/17, 12:40 PM - wow, into a local Costco, how fortunate for you (and others). This is a wine of great importance. It's not going to wow with too much fruit/extraction, it's going to wow with a sense of place, balance and exquisite purity; it's chock-full of nuance, and will no doubt gain even more as time passes. I hope you find it as lovely as I did. Thanks for your kind words, and please keep writing notes as I find them helpful, thoughtful and very well-written. ciao, Tim
