Community Tasting Note

• I'd Rather Be Drinking Wine Likes this wine: 94 points

  August 11, 2022 - Open THAT Bottle - at Joe's (Joe's House): Wow! The nose on this wine is fantastic! It is characterized by dark fruit and purple flowers and is quite intoxicating! The palate comes close to reaching the lofty heights of the fruit as the pretty fruit ahows up in spades. The palate shows plenty of dark fruit, mostly cassis and blackberry, with notes of chocolate and hints of tree bark and earth. Although the tertiary flavors will require more time, it is the purity of fruit that takes center stage right now. For those who enjoy the purity of fruit, this wine is in awesome place....smooth tannins, dense fruit and a velvety mouthfeel...a trifecta in my book! May get better, but damn good right now! 94+ for my palate! Paired well with grilled sirloin!

  Have you tried their other vineyards/bottlings?

  I might just drink through you.. I really wanted to try before I buy, and want to exercise that more often versus buying blindly.
