Community Tasting Note

• bjamesclark wrote: 91 points

  July 3, 2021 - 40% Carignan and 38% Mourvèdre, with Zinfandel, Palomino, Alicante and Mission, from vines that were planted in the 1890s.
  Decanted and showing moderate sediment.
  Slightly rustic nuances on the nose with notes of earth and forest floor, white pepper, spent campfire, garrigue, herbs, old boot leather, innertube and anise are set against the notes of black plum, blackberry, desiccated violets and juniper berry.
  The palate shows uplifting acidity, moderate fruit tannins and alcohol.
  flavors show the more mature side of this field blend. Notes of fig, brambly blackberry and plum mix with earth, dusty leather, garrigue, dried herbs and violets, camp smoke, white pepper and hints of juniper, innertube and blueberry reduction. The finish lingers.
