Community Tasting Notes 7

    March 7, 2024 - Popped & poured and quite enjoyable right from the start. A good, quaffable field blend for everyday drinking.

    April 10, 2022 - A nose of dark cherries and spice, dark garnet in color. A medium to full bodied kitchen sink blend, with black cherry, raspberry, herbs, licorice and pepper spiced finish. www.winelx.com

    April 19, 2021 - Earth and damp mulch nose. Black cherry, iron, dried thyme, and oregano on the palate. Short finish with cherry, medium tannins, and some acidity. Disappointing compared to previous vintages. No need to hold off any longer.

    Last of 5 bottles. Although no detailed notes on previous tastings, they had similar notes of disappointment.

    February 10, 2020 - Blackberry jam flavors, fruit flavor dominates. Low-med acid. Mild spice from the oak.

    August 25, 2019 - Big juicy red blend. Dark rich color. Nothing on the nose. Strong fruit flavors, with black pepper. Nice wine, but seems a bit pricey - so low QPR. Might need more time.
