Community Tasting Notes 7

  November 17, 2023 - 2018 and 2019 side by side. Okay and tannic, but less so than the stern and bitter 2018, this 2019 has broader shoulders but has little fruit expansion to offer. Check back in ten years in hopes the fruit finds its way out of the cage it’s currently in.

  July 29, 2023 - Very concentrated, lots of oak spices. A bit tannic at the moment and a few years will do wonders. Enjoyed quite a bit regardless

  May 7, 2023 - Three and a half hour decant. Nearly opaque electric magenta color. Blackberry, plum, and oatmeal cookie. Dry, satiny palate, with bright, lingering, mouth filling acidity. Firm, full, plush tannins on the long finish.
  
  This was my first ever Greer. We wanted something fun to celebrate our 28th anniversary. We were married quite young by today’s standards, so we’re not as old as one might think. ;) This Cab is young, voluptuous, and still quite primary. There’s lots of room for improvement, much like us. I hope to wait until my 30th anniversary (or longer) for the next bottle.

  January 7, 2023 - What a beautiful wine. This wine, year in and year out always ranks consistently high for me. I gave this ~6 hours of air and drank over the next few hours. I tasted a small sip at PnP and it was as good then as it was with more air. It had this cherry vanilla, almost like a cherry starburst nose to it - very pleasant. Good Rutherford dust, very accessible.

  October 25, 2022 - Needed a great deal of air (overnight); even three hours after opening the wine was still quite closed and difficult to read. Very dark, with a strikingly silky texture. Nose shows cassis / sour cherries / plums, menthol, hints of toasted brioche. Quite a strong wine from a producer I really love. Best at age 10-16. 95 now, certainly will improve in the future. A shame CT won't let me just enter 95-97 or 95+....
