Community Tasting Note

  • jmoon Likes this wine: 94 points

    August 21, 2020 - On opening with no decant initial impression was solid new world Cabernet good but nothing exotic to discover. Things changed at the 40 min mark when tannins dropped, fruit broadened away from primary and a softer nuance emerged, black fruits, and earth and the stinger which excited me for the rest of the night was a lovely salty tang that kept me going back for more, like a great cote rotie in a Cabernet cloak.

    In your parlance the score is “highly recommended”

    8/27/20, 3:32 PM - seems it must be a small production wine; no longer appears imported to USA (quick glance, mind you). LMK if you know otherwise. Always looking to import something that's exciting (this sounds like it might come close). Thanks for your valuable tasting notes.
