Community Tasting Notes 2

September 17, 2023 - Retail $20. Under agglomerated stopper. I liked this, even really liked this when I tasted it blind for the Fourth Annual Blind Tasting of American Pinot Noir, but based on the note then, this is a bit of a different animal nearly two years later. While it was meaty and brooding on the nose then, it is floral, even perfumed today, with rose petal and dark cherry predominate. The palate is initially quite fruity and tart, so much so that it borders on "sweet" but shortly after the mid-palate, a flinty, mineral, almost dirty or stemmy element comes in, suggesting some whole-cluster fermentation, but I could not verify that.

November 26, 2021 - The Fourth Annual World’s Largest Blind Tasting of American Pinot Noir: Retail $20. Dark, meaty, almost bloody on the nose, this is whatever beyond brooding is. Rich and “really brooding” again with intense, brooding flavors but great balance with tartness and some tannins on the finish.
