Community Tasting Notes 3

  November 22, 2013 - This Malbec may well have been the winner of the night. The wine has finally come out of its funk and is showing as well as it did at the winery, a true beast of a wine, with rich roasted animal notes, and body that hoilds up to most meals.
  
  The nose starts off with rich blue fruit notes that fade into a cacophony of roasted animal notes, loamy earth, and black fruit. The wine mellows over time to rich tobacco and violet, with smoke, eucalyptus, and date. The mouth is medium to full bodied, rich and layered with concentrated and tangy fruit, ripe sweet strawberry, rich black plum, intense blueberry, blackberry, more crazy sweet tobacco, sweet cedar, candied black cherry, all controlled with little to no date, but still sweet – very Californian in style. The finish is long and sweet with butterscotch, raspberry, hints of tar and loamy earth.

  January 2, 2013 - Drank with friends and everyone loved it. A lovely Malbec from the land of milk and honey. Didn't taste any of that in this quaffable red.
