Community Tasting Note

• jonahfactor Likes this wine:

  March 25, 2018 - (Tasted at the winery) TC’s first non-sterile-filtered Cotes since 2008. Hope they do more of that with their wines. Tight but creamy and tending toward black and red fruits. Extremely primary right now. A more feminine rendition of this offering. But the gates on these usually start opening around year 2. Drink 2020-2025. ( ����= Worth Seeking Out)
