Community Tasting Notes 2

    August 26, 2020 - Dark but vibrant inky purple color. Strong notes of blue fruit with a bit of mocha on the nose. The fruit explodes in one’s mouth; fruit is fresh but not over the top, with hints of chocolate. Very rich, good balance. Finish is long and very pleasant. Served with lamb chop with sweet pepper relish and wild rice pilaf, the meal and wine paired very well. Once again, Grant has created a beautiful wine that is well-balanced and is a little different from what one might find elsewhere.

    December 29, 2019 - An oenophile friend shared this very special bottle from his cellar last night. This wine is just a baby and time didn't allow for a proper decant. Even with the age and o2 disadvantages, this wine displayed tremendous promise. Dark and dense, elegant and palate coating, this Cabernet Franc also had a deft balance of acidity and tannins for an enjoyable finish. A couple more years in the bottle and time in the decanter should present an exceptional wine. 93+ now with great potential.
