Community Tasting Note

  • RGCM Gananda Likes this wine: 91 points

    March 8, 2019 - Prior bottle was almost eight months ago and this bottle was noticeably superior, making me think that perhaps the immediately prior bottle may have been slight flawed. This bottle showed mineral, apple and floral notes on the nose. Medium bodied with a combination of more dry pear and melon coupled with peach, leading to a mid-body of peach and contrasting apple. The mid-body showed both more depth and more expression than previously. Backside showed nicely tart lemon along with other citrus notes and tart mineral qualities. Integration in general and balance overall had improved and in really felt like this bottle conveyed the essence of the grape that the prior bottle didn't (but prior bottles did). Should continue to show at this level over the next 12 months or so with additional life beyond that at a similar level.
