Community Tasting Note

    June 15, 2020 - Wines Done Blind: I had this open for about 36 hours so it got good breathing time. When we tasted it on the first day, a few at the table (it was poured blind, although not to me) thought it was an older wine. Interesting remark, but as I think about it when tasting it on the second day being open, I can understand that sensory comment. There is a cigar leaf, tobacco note in the aromatic, perhaps from the stem inclusion or perhaps in part or attributable to the vineyard--not sure. A solid depth of spicy fruit with a tangy, herby dark cherry that carries with it some power (FYI...this is labeled just over 13%). A unique wine for me, with the tangy, kind of rustic charm.
