Community Tasting Note

• SeattleKen Likes this wine:

  May 18, 2022 - Sniffed right after an overripe Pomerol, this smelled like a cross between an Argentinian Malbec and a Loire Cabernet Franc. I totally get the metallic note that RBHAN12 pointed out. To me, that’s a vegetal quality I get in a lot of Cab Franc. A good wine for the price point but not one to relish alone— instead, something about the wine says “I need braised pork shoulder or savory roasted root vegetables in olive oil before I’ll talk to you.” UPDATE: Tasted the next day and it tasted brilliant— a really nice St. Emilion that I will love this summer. Even though the wine was unchanged (under Coravin), the big difference is the weather; today is warm and sunny and yesterday was cold and cloudy. Yesterday, this was not a wine to drink alone while today it is.
