Community Tasting Notes 7

  April 16, 2020 - Decanted two hours ( it was yummy earlier, but just kept improving! ).
  Lovely, deep, ethereal aromas of ripe red cherries, a bouquet of flowers, violets, fine herbs and strawberry liquer. All full and floating by at once.
  Palate reflects the aromas with much greater tactile presence as they coat the palate. So much flavor, so little weight. Sleek onto the rear palate where a touch of rhubarb compote enters and extends onto the very long finish, interwoven with creamy herbs and flowers. The biggest difference earlier and now was a band of acidity that came on at the rear palate and shut down the finish.
  My only bottle. Glad I waited!

  February 15, 2015 - Crimson in color. 14.2% ABV. Super nose of red fruits, sarsaparilla and cloves. Medium body with excellent acidity. Great length and depth on the palate. Flavors of cranberry, black cherry and spice. The finish is long and belies the fact that this wine is 13 years old. A great showing and Russian River Valley Pinot Noir at its very finest. Drink over the next year or two.
