Community Tasting Notes 8

    February 23, 2023 - Medium bodied, with blue fruit - plums, black cherries, less heat, soft tannins, and a nice long finish. Better than last time.

    September 18, 2020 - a bit thin, even for a Pinot. Described as dry, there is still a perceived sweetness, perhaps of vanilla, which increased as it warmed from the initial 55 degrees. It wasn't a good combination for me. Worked better with food than on its own.

    June 22, 2020 - Earth, dark chewy fruit, maybe blackberry. Chocolate and tobacco midpalate. Long finish (5-7 seconds).

    May 13, 2020 - Ruddy garnet. Nice nose of rose, spice, and fresh raspberries. Light bodied, crushed cranberries, bright cherries, sage, sweet tannins, a bit of heat, good acid, and a nice long finish. Both nights, this started out very "meh", but improved throughout the evening, especially with and after food.

    March 22, 2020 - Super cherry flavor, smooth, balanced. Getting some watermelon and sweet tart, too. Lovely.
