Community Tasting Note

• FoinZap Does not like this wine: 91 points

  November 21, 2021 - PnP. Black cherry/plum-colored to rose at the edge. Red fruit, earth, and graphite on the nose. Palate is bright, tangy red fruit...cranberry, raspberry, a bitter aspect, cherry finish. Mouth feel is a bit grainy and absent the silkiness you expect w Merlot. Starts and finishes with a tangy/sour red fruit pucker. There's certainly some complexity here, not really in balance yet. Could have potential with age, but not my fave.

  6/11/22, 6:42 AM - I guess I've always viewed the score as an assessment of the quality level of the wine and the "like it" or "don't like it" as more personal preference (sort of "note to self: don't re-purchase"). I suspect there are wines I would rate a lower score, but like, and probably higher that I don't like. Does that make sense, or am I not doing it right?
