Community Tasting Note

• mclanew Likes this wine: 94 points

  June 13, 2021 - Popped and poured. Black cherry, herbs and a little smoke. The wine is transparent, elegant and graceful, light on its feet but showing a lot of underlying concentration. This seems to have tremendous potential although it was so light in feel I wondered how it would age - perhaps it puts on some more weight over the next few years?

The No. 9 is 100% whole cluster which usually binds up some of the fruit in youth, and releases that back to the wine with time. It should age well past 10 years without a problem. The 2010 is in great shape, as is the 2012.
