Community Tasting Notes 6

  May 6, 2022 - Tasted after a 2 1/2 hour decant.
  Almost dark ruby in colour with lovely aromas of sweet black fruit, slightly herbaceous, earthy forest floor & background oak.
  On the palate, medium bodied slightly tart black fruit, blackberry/black cherry/blueberry/cassis, oak as cedar & sweet tobacco, medium acidity, medium silky tannins & a long finish to intense, spicy pepper & a chalky minerality.
  Probably won’t get any better with further cellaring, but it is absolutely lovely now. Definitely will be buying the next available vintage!

  January 6, 2020 - Full disclosure: I really adore this winery & their team. I always stop here for a bite when I am in the hood - plus I can charge my car there, as well!
  
  Cellar time has been good to this one ... I now smell tobacco with abbreviated pepper notes. However, black currents also vie for air in the glass - fighting with the wood spice that is still here after 90 min. decant.
  
  Everything about this CF is big: structure, fruit, pH, acid - yet, somehow it has developed into a wine so graceful & supple.
  
  As I contemplate its pinnacle date, it is perfect for grilled lamb chops on a Monday evening.

  March 9, 2019 - Outstanding wine from an outstanding winery! "you can't make good wine from bad grapes" - the owner told me once.
  
  Beautiful CF here: deep ruby color. Grass & pepper nose, with a hint of smoke.
  
  Mid to full body in the mouth, rounded, deep, black fruit, earthy, vanilla and a superb finish - albeit thinner than expected.
  
  Every sip of this glass was a delight. Many years to go on this one - if you have room in your cellar.
  
  Note: decant for 60 minutes.
