Community Tasting Note

    January 11, 2020 - Rhys Alpine/Horseshoe Tasting at Frank's (Frank Murray's Casa): Bagged but knew all but which vineyard was in which bag. Shows little in the way of extraction in terms of color. Young full fruited Pinot notes with touches of herby stems. Much richer and weightier on the palate than the Horseshoe. Bigger bodied but also much stronger tannin. This comes off like a wine with a lot of potential. This also saw very little air upon our tasting it which I think factors into it feeling a touch round. I'd bet on a strong future for this one. The fruit density was on display here where it was difficult to locate in the Horseshoe. This made the stem inclusion come off as spice rather then the whole show.
