Community Tasting Note

  • AGELVIS Likes this wine: 94 points

    July 4, 2021 - Two hour decant. Very deep dark magenta color. Black cherry jam, baking powder, semi-sweet chocolate, along with subtle blueberry and ginger, on the nose. Very smooth, dry palate, with refined acidity. Firm, but low intensity tannins on the long finish.

    Quite frankly, I expected more based on the professional reviews and the price point. This was elegant, but surprisingly simple. There was nothing to differentiate this from a number of good $100 Napa Cabs.
