Community Tasting Notes 6

  January 2, 2013 - Dark fruit and cherry on the nose and palate. Tannins and earthiness, provide interest, but are somewhat overwhelming. Good acidity. Overall just not doing it for me, not bad, but I expected more.

  November 17, 2011 - Replete with notes of dark and ripe plummy fruit, toasted coconut, and roasted almonds and Brazil nuts...with a touch of kalamata olive thrown in on the finish. Medium to full-bodied, it has a viscous mouth-feel that is somewhat, well, "oily" in its impression (hence, the Brazil nuts), but not in an off-putting way. Rather, the toasty, roasty, oily character of this wine is what I've come to expect from a well-made PS. How enjoyable this wine would be sitting before a campfire, roasting marshmallows...or perhaps chestnuts. A fitting winter wine, indeed. Lake County, California - where this wine's grapes were grown and the wine itself was made - excels in PS, and this wine is a worthy starting point for exploring what this emerging wine region is capable of. The winery - and its staff - are delightful, as well.

  September 15, 2011 - not bad. very dark, inky deep full bodied...with spicy finish. did not feel the tannins yet but some bitterness instead. good value for under 10. not sure if i'm buying more. but was + surprised by the body. not a dry wine but not too sweet either. plenty of fruit.

  July 9, 2011 - Inky purple. Jammy aromas of blackberry preserves and fresh plums, bordering on overripe. Full bodied with black and blue fruit and white pepper flavors, firm tannins, and adequate structure and complexity.

  July 9, 2011 - At the high end of acceptable ripeness, this has plenty of good fruit and tannic structure. Tasty and fun.
