Community Tasting Notes 22

  December 4, 2022 - Accidentally decanted for five hours (intended less), but this didn't suffer from the over-exposure like the '14 Stonessence seemed to. Complex and savory with that interesting Rocks funk overlay on the earthy blackberry fruit.

  November 23, 2022 - We liked it much better than last tasting almost two years ago. Still dark garnet and opaque. Pronounced, excellent cassis aromas. Good concentrated fruit, also mainly cassis, though slightly austere, which we have found typical of many Walla cabs. Some tannin on the late palate and aftertaste, which detracts slightly. Overall an excellent though not outstanding wine. Fully mature but should last 3-5 years.

  July 12, 2022 - Tremendous evolution since my prior bottle almost 7 years ago. The Rocks signature notes have receded but are still evident, giving way to a CS that is elegant and shows nice finesse. Consumed over two nights, it didn't move a lot overnight, but didn't lose anything, either. Plenty of life ahead.

  June 8, 2022 - This wine is coming into its own now. Concentrated dark berry fruit with tobacco, spice, espresso and a hint of Rocks funk. PnP's very well but there's plenty of runway left. Drink or hold.
